A knee injury has forced Volkan Oezdemir out of his light heavyweight fight with Nikita Krylov at a UFC Fight Night event October 17th.
RT Sport first announced the news. Oezdemir and Krylov were scheduled to meet in the co-main event of the UFC Card on October 17th. It’s unclear whether the UFC will pull Krylov from the “Fight Island” card entirely or the promotion will seek a replacement for Oezdemir.
The Swiss light heavyweight contender took to Instagram to address the injury that forced him out of the fight.
