Volkan Oezdemir explains callouts of Jan Blachowicz, Jamahal Hill after UFC on ABC 6 knockout
Volkan Oezdemir has two top contenders in mind after his brutal knockout win at UFC on ABC 6.
Oezdemir (20-7 MMA, 8-6 UFC) scored a first-round knockout of Johnny Walker (21-9 MMA, 7-6 UFC) in Saturdayâs main card opener at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. âNo Timeâ has now won three of his past four fights.
The former title challenger called out Jamahal Hill (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Jan Blachowicz (29-10-1 MMA, 12-7-1 UFC) in his post-fight octagon interview.
âTo just climb the ranks,â Oezdemir explained to reporters at the UFC on ABC 6 post-fight press conference. âBlachowicz is going to be a fight for the crown of Europe. Itâs going to be the top fight for the European fighters, so thatâs a fight I want to do. And Jamahal Hill, I want that fight, as well. My goal is to climb the ranks, take over the division. Iâm back. âNo Timeâ is back. This is my time now, and Iâm here to showcase this.â
With Hill currently healing from a knee injury and Blachowicz from shoulder surgery, Oezdemir isnât sure if heâll be able to get those fights anytime soon â especially that heâs targeting a September return in Paris.
âBoth are injured right now, so I donât know really whatâs going to happen with this,â Oezdemir said. âI know I want to have a quick turnaround because Iâm eyeing Paris. I want to fight in France again. France is also my home crowd, so I would love to be there again end of September.
âIâm going to have my wedding now in three weeks, so, guys, Iâm waiting for the 50K. Iâm waiting for the 50K so I can have a great, great wedding. Iâll have a big party and enjoy that a little bit before turning around for the fight in Paris.â
