I was very surprised to see Edmen as such a big favorite. While we can never forget the absolute disaster that was Andre Petroski when he knocked himself out shooting a takedown, we also can't ignore that when he doesn't randomly collapse on an entry, he does have good wrestling. Edmen is a guy that can knock you out early but also immediately fade and just give the fight away. This is a similar breakdown to the Cody Brundage fight, if Andre Petroski shoots early and avoids the storm, he absolutely can win this fight. I am going to slight lean Edmen here because Andre just isn't dangerous on the ground so logically even if he is taken down, Edmen should have a few different chances to win here, but likely no real value to bet here considering the clash of styles.
Edmen Shahbazyan
Edmen Shahbazyan is a very good striker who is well rounded and has impressive kicks. He does get taken down a good amount though because he is long and he plants his feet before throwing. His takedown defense is listed at at 65% and if he is taken down he ends up in trouble because he doesn't scramble well enough to get back up or threaten enough to get a submission. He has solid offensive wrestling though with almost 2 takedowns per fight. He is coming off the KO will never Dulan Budka
Andre Petroski
Andre Petroski is a very good wrestler with great takedowns. His standup is just ok but it is loaded with power shots that are there for the wrestling. When he does shoot takedowns they are fast and clean. He has solid BJJ as well that he uses to control positions and occasionally snatch up submissions. He is coming off the close striking win over Rodolfo Vieira
