LAS VEGAS – Edmen Shahbazyan and Charles Byrd have an opponent in common going into UFC 235. But does that really matter? Shahbazyan (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) owns an octagon victory over Darren Stewart, while Byrd (10-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) has lost to that very same opponent . Comparing those fights might be helpful from an analysis perspective, but not on fight night.
