More Fantasy News
Brito up next
Baghdasaryan will fight Joanderson Brito at UFC Vegas 112 on Dec. 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Baghdasaryan has fought just once in the past 24 months, and his lone fight resulted in a loss to Jean Silva. Because of his inactivity, the 33-year-old featherweight could display some rust in December, though he may be able to get back in the win column while facing an opponent who has dropped each of his last two bouts.

Routed in return from long layoff
Baghdasaryan lost to Jean Silva via TKO (strikes) at 4:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a significant shoulder injury, this was Baghdasaryan's first fight since July 2023. It was also a terrible matchup for him, as Silva is about the last featherweight on the roster you want to see standing across from you in a stand-up brawl these days. Melsik eventually got dropped by a huge combination from Silva. He was clearly done and Silva let up, but referee Kevin MacDonald told the latter to keep fighting so Baghdasaryan was forced to absorb a few huge elbows getting being put away from good. There's some talent here, but the 33-year-old has fought just five times (3-2) since making his July 2021 UFC debut.

Next fight scheduled
Baghdasaryan will take on Jean Silva in a featherweight bout at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Baghdasaryan is coming off a bounce-back win, taking care of Tucker Lutz back in July via unanimous decision. His opponent Silva has won all three of his first UFC bouts, so this should be an entertaining bout. Baghasaryan has a two-inch advantage in height and a one-inch advantage in reach.
