Former UFC light heavyweight contender Volkan Ozdemir gave a commentary on the upcoming fight with the Uzbek debutant of the promotion Bogdan Guskov.
Their fight will take place at UFC Fight Night 226, which will take place on September 2 in Paris, France.
“No one in the top 15 wanted to fight me, so I was told that if I really wanted to compete in this tournament, then I would have to fight a rookie. I was upset, but this is a twofold situation. Such a fight can turn out to be both a trap and a gift.
I want the opponent to be on the floor and the referee raise my hand. It is important for me to win in Paris, where my fans, my people will be, ”Sportkeeda quotes Ozdemir.
