Edmen Shahbazyan returned the favor to Brendan Allen by ripping him for his most recent loss.
When Shahbazyan (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) was stopped by Nassourdine Imavov at UFC 268, Allen said he now understood why Shahbazyan, whom he previously called out, did not want to fight him.
Ok i get it, now it makes sense why @edmenshahbazyan didnt accept the fight with me. I dont blame you anymore lol

“Ok I get it, now it makes sense why @edmenshahbazyan didn’t accept the fight with me. I don’t blame you anymore lol.”
So when Allen (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) suffered a similar fate at the hands of Chris Curtis this past Saturday at UFC on ESPN 31, Shahbazyan jumped at the opportunity to mock him, prompting a back-and-forth exchange and a potential future matchup between the two.
