the phase of Kelvin Gastelum It's definitely not good, but depending on the athlete, it's about to change. Coming from three consecutive defeats, the former challenger for the interim middleweight belt (up to 83,9kg) challenged the promising Edmen shahbazyan, who suffered his first career defeat in a duel against Derek Brunson, In August.

“I hope everything is fine during the pandemic, Edmen shahbazyan. I'm waiting to sign the contract and all we need is your signature. Thank you”, published Gastelum, on his Twitter account.
Considered one of the UFC's greatest promises by the legendary Ronda Rousey, Shahbazyan, if he accepts the challenge, will have a great opportunity to reach the top 10 in the division. Currently in 11th place, Edmen, if he surpasses Kelvin, could jump to eighth place.
Gastelum has not played since July, when he traded forces against Jack Hermensson. At the time, the athlete could do little and ended up finished in less than two minutes by his rival.
Coming from a negative result, like Kelvin, Shahbazyan needs to regain the trust placed in the UFC. Before the defeat to Brunson, the 22-year-old had never been beaten, in 10 professional MMA commitments.
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- # OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) November 11, 2020
