Edmen Shahbazyan vs Andre Muniz - AI generated fight pick

Edmen Shahbazyan is the younger, more dynamic striker with a significant knockout rate—12 of his 15 wins are by KO, and he has a high rate of first-round finishes. He also has a 66% takedown defense, which is important against Andre Muniz, a submission specialist with 15 submission wins but a very low takedown defense (36%). Muniz's recent form is concerning: he's lost 3 of his last 4, including two by KO/TKO, suggesting his durability is fading at age 35. Shahbazyan, at 27, is in his athletic prime and has shown improved patience and defensive grappling in recent performances. Historically, fighters in this division with Shahbazyan's age, striking power, and takedown defense have had success against older, grappling-centric opponents with declining durability. Muniz's only clear path is via submission, but Shahbazyan's improved awareness and Muniz's recent struggles make the younger fighter the more probable winner.
