Leon Shahbazyan is part of the UFC welterweight division's deep end, fighting out of Armenia — 17 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
The ground is where fights end: 11 wins by submission (92% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.
He's coming off a loss to Levan Chokheli. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
