Volkan Oezdemir likes ‘jokes’ with Daniel Cormier now, but promises no respect given at UFC 220

Volkan Oezdemir has adopted the nickname “No Time” early in his UFC career. He believes that will be an apt moniker once again next month.

Oezdemir told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour that he is predicting a quick finish of UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 220 on Jan. 20 in Boston.

“It’s gonna be a first-round knockout,” Oezdemir said.

Oezdemir (15-1) is clearly confident, but he has good reason to be. The Switzerland native is coming off two straight knockouts in less than one minute each.
