GLENDALE — Karen Darabedyan’s recent misfortunes in the cage followed him to Texas on Saturday night.

The Glendale High graduate dropped his third consecutive fight, losing to Daniel Straus at Shark Fights 13 at the Amarillo Civic Center in Amarillo, Texas via unanimous decision. The bout was streamed live on sherdog.com as part of the preliminary portion of the event, which offered its main card on pay-per-view.
