Baghsadaryan defeated Tucker Lutz via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 49 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Baghsadaryan is a pure striker with questionable secondary skills. He was able to overwhelm Lutz on the feet the vast majority of this fight, and it resulted in his third victory in four UFC bouts, but Baghsadaryan allowed a Lutz takedown in each round, something that is a significant problem considering he offers virtually nothing himself in terms of grappling or submission offense. Baghsadaryan will likely be fine whenever he is involved in an extended kickboxing match, but every opponent he faces moving forward is going to try to get him out of his comfort zone. It will be on the 31-year-old California native to adjust.
