Shahbazyan is coming off of an impressive submission win over Jack Marshman at UFC 239. Before that, he earned a 38-second TKO triumph over Charles Byrd at UFC 235. The 21-year-old is 10-0 as a professional and has only gone to the scorecards in a split-decision win over Darren Stewart in his UFC debut.
Tavares, meanwhile, has not fought since July 2018 when he lost to Israel Adesanya by decision at “The Ultimate Fighter 27” finale. That setback halted a four-bout winning streak for the 31-year-old Hawaiian.
