Cirkunov wants rematch with Oezdemir

UFC light heavyweight Misha Cirkunov of Latvia admitted that he felt very sad at losing to Volkan Oezdemir and Glover Teixeira. Yesterday, the 31-year-old fighter managed to return to the winning streak by defeating Patrick Cummins, and now expects to get revenge with Oezdemir.

“Few people know that after my two defeats, I almost fell into depression. I was just not where I needed to be, and I needed some changes. My wife and I decided to take a serious step forward and went to Las Vegas. I am happy to train in my new Extreme Couture room, and experts from the UFC Productivity Institute helped me a lot. I seriously grew up professionally, as my today's fight showed.

“I want Volkan to know that in the nearest future I will rise to the top of the division and we will have a second fight. Of course, he will not be my next opponent, but if in the future I will show some impressive performances, then the rematch will be appropriate,” said Cirkunov.
