Edmen Shahbazyan VS Brunno Ferreira

Edmen Shahbazyan defeated Brunno Ferreira by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) in a middleweight bout at UFC 331 on September 19, 2026. Shahbazyan worked from the center of the cage throughout, building his lead with consistent leg kicks and combination striking while Ferreira remained largely reactive across all three rounds. Late in the final round, Shahbazyan rocked Ferreira with a jab-left hook combination and floored him with a right hand, the closest the fight came to a finish. The win ends a one-fight losing streak for Shahbazyan, who had previously dropped a decision to Brendan Allen, while Ferreira absorbs his third consecutive defeat.

Edmen Shahbazyan and Brunno Ferreira meet in a middleweight bout where both men arrive needing a bounce-back win to stay relevant in the division. Shahbazyan was riding a three-fight streak before dropping a decision to Brendan Allen in June; Ferreira beat Marvin Vettori in 2025 but has since lost twice in a row. At this stage in the middleweight pecking order, a loss for either man pushes them closer to the periphery of title conversation.
