Leon Shahbazyan vs. Levan Chokheli Pick, Prediction and Bets

SHAHBAZYAN VS CHOKHELI

Finding out that Edmen Shahbazyan's brother is a 6'4 BJJ nerd was a bit of a surprise. But luckily for us, that makes this breakdown very easy. Levan should smoke him here. He is the much better striking and will literally just punch through whatever the hell that stance is that Shabahzyan uses. If Shahbazyan had better takedowns I would be a bit worried, but he doesn't and I don't expect Levon to need to wrestle here. So Levan is the pick and i wouldn't be surprised by a first or second round KO.

Leon Shahbazyan

Leon Shahbazyan is Edmen Shahbazyan's older brother but unlike Edmen, he is a nasty grappler and not a very striker. His striking isn't awful, but he has a weird stance and is hittable. He's incredibly long and can fight at range but most of his strikign success comes from counters when people rush in. The length is very obvious on the ground when he's using long guy submission like triangles and power guilotines. his wrestling isn't great and most of his submissions are coming off his back or in scrambles off his opponents shots.

Levan Chokheli

Levan Chokheli is a well rounded fighter who has powerful striking and well timed takedowns. On the feet he is very aggressive and mixed in big leg kicks with giant over hands. He will shoot clean doubles up the middle or use his opponents takedown to throw in a wizzer that he transitions into an uchi mada. He can fade as fights go on because everything he does is with 100% effort, but he is fast, aggressive, dangerous and good everywhere.
