Middleweights Edmen Shahbazyan and Nassourdine Imavov are set to clash at the upcoming UFC 268 card on Nov. 6 with the event currently targeted for Madison Square Garden in New York.
Multiple sources confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting following an initial report from Lasueur.com.
At just 23, Shahbazyan remains one of the brightest prospects on the UFC roster despite falling in his last two fights to Derek Brunson and Jack Hermansson. The former Contender Series winner started his career in the octagon with four straight wins including a blistering knockout over veteran middleweight Brad Tavares.
