Former UFC light heavyweight contender Volkan Ozdemir spoke about joint training with Khamzat Chimaev in the All Star hall.

Let us remind you that on September 2 at the UFC Fight Night 226 tournament in Paris, France, Oezdemir defeated the debutant of the organization Bogdan Guskov by strangulation in the first round.

“Now I train at All Star, I feel great. Of course, sparring with Khamzat Chimaev is difficult, but I really feel progress. You could notice this in a duel.

If you can defend against Khamzat's transfer, you can just hold your own against him - you know, you can do that against any other fighter. The intensity of Chimaev’s work in the training camp is simply amazing,” MMA Junkie quotes Oezdemir.
