Former Hoover student Edmen Shahbazyan will likely return to the octagon on April 4 in Las Vegas, looking to extend his current winning streak to four fights, mmafighting.com reported.

The middleweight bout against South Korea’s Jun Yong Park is expected to take place at UFC Vegas 114 at the UFC Apex.

Shabazyan was poised to have a fast rise up the middleweight rankings after earning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, and after winning his first four fights it looked like it would happen again.

However, Shahbazyan experienced some growth pains against higher ranked competition losing five of his next seven bouts, with four stoppage losses to Derek Bunson, Nassourdine Imavov, Anthony Hernandez and Gerald Meerschaert.

The 28-year-old bounced back into a good run with consecutive wins over Dylan Budka, Andre Petroski and Andre Muniz.

Park, nicknamed the “ The Iron Turtle,” looks to rebound following a decision loss to Ikram Aliskerov at UFC 321 that ended his two-fight winning streak.
