This weekend, second-ranked UFC light heavyweight Volkan Oezdemir (15-2) takes on the 10th ranked Anthony Smith at the main event of UFC Moncton in New Brunswick, Canada. A win over the rising ‘Lionheart’ Smith (30-13) could snatch a second crack at the UFC 205 lb title for ‘No Time’ Oezdemir.
Oezdemir recently took time out of his schedule to speak to Peter Carroll on MMA Fighting’s ‘Eurobash’ podcast. On that show the Swiss fighter shared his opinion on the other big UFC light heavyweight fight on the horizon: Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson II, which will likely be for the UFC light heavyweight title.
