UFC Middleweight contender Kelvin Gastelum is itching to get back to the octagon to get his first win in the octagon since 2018 and cut his 3 fight losing streak. The 29-year-old took to Twitter to call out fellow Middleweight contender Edmen Shahbazyan.

Gastelum tweeted “Hope all is well during this pandemic @edmenshahbazyan . I’ve been waiting to sign a contract, and all we need is your signature. Thank you ? @AliAbdelaziz00 @Mickmaynard2 @danawhite @ufc”

It doesn’t seem that there is any bad blood between the two fighters, however both of them are coming off stoppage losses and are eager to get back into the win column. If this fight is made for later this year it would be Gastelum’s second fight of 2020 after he competed on UFC Fight Island 2 against fellow Middleweight contender Jack Hermansson, the fight ended disappointingly for Gastelum as he got caught in a heel hook in the very first round.

Shahbazyan on the other hand, got his first main event opportunity against Middleweight vet Derek Brunson in a three round fight at UFC Vegas 5. The 22 year old was handed his first loss in that fight where he got TKO’d in the third round and handed his first professional loss. Prior to that fight, Shahbazyan was undefeated in the UFC going 4-0 with 3 first round finishes.

Who do you think would win in this potential matchup between Kelvin Gastelum & Edmen Shahbazyan?

Rousey and Shahbazyan training

Former UFC Champion Ronda Rousey has taken to social media to thank Derek Brunson for teaching Edmen Shahbazyan the lessons he needed to learn in order to become a champion.

Brunson who is 21-7 in MMA, beat Shahbazyan (12-1) in last weeks UFC Vegas 5 main event. Brunson won the fight via 3rd round TKO.

Ronda Rousey manages Shahbazyan and posted on Twitter yesterday where she spoke about Shahbazyan’s first career defeat.

Speaking to her 3.5million Twitter followers, Rousey, said: ‘Thank you Derek Brunson, congrats on your well deserved victory and thank you for teaching Edmen Shahbazyan lessons he needed to learn to be a champion.’

The fight began with a close first round. However in the second round, Derek Brunson began to dominate and had it not been for the bell, he would’ve stopped Shahbazyan at the end of the second round. Shahbazyan came out for the third but was still hurt from the end of the second where the fight was stopped in the early stages of the final round to give Shahbazyan his first career loss.

Rousey began her career by going 12-0 to which she then lost to Holly Holm. Rousey never fully recovered from the loss in 2015 to which she took a year off.

Rousey then returned at the end of 2016 where she fought Amanda Nunes who stopped her via TKO early in the first round.

Shahbazyan is still only 22 and will look to bounce back from his first career defeat.

Do you think Edmen Shahbazyan still has potential to become a world champion or has Brunson de-railed a hype train?

Dana White was not happy with the work of the cageside doctor during the UFC on ESPN+ 31 main event. Brunson enjoyed a dominant round two which ended with him on top reigning down blows which seemed to have momentarily put his young opponent out cold just before the horn sounded to end the round.

Veteran referee Herb Dean called the doctor in to check on Shahbazyan. After chatting with the fighter the doctor let the fight continue and Shahbazyan was quickly stopped at the beginning of round three.

Speaking to media post-fight at UFC Vegas 5 White expressed his belief Shahabazyan went out at the end of round two and questioned the work of what he believes is an inexperience ringside doctor, he said.

“Shahbazyan looked like he was out at the end of that round. I think that the doctor could have stopped … first of all, the doctor’s obviously inexperienced. I don’t know anything about the doctor, but I’ve never seen him before.”

“You’ve got Brunson, who ends that round strong, many could argue that fight could have been stopped there at the end of the round. I’m sure the ref thought that the guy would have time to go back,” White said. “What you don’t do is talk to the guy for (expletive) 10 minutes while he’s hurt. You know what I mean? Either stop the fight or let him continue, but go.”

“You’re letting the kid recover while you’ve got Brunson who did that work while he’s waiting for the bell to ring so that he can go in and finish the fight. Pull the trigger one way or the other. Stop the fight or don’t.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)

Do you agree with Dana White? Did the ringside doctor perform poorly during the UFC Vegas 5 main event?
