Nikita Krylov vs. Volkan Oezdemir set to co-headline UFC's Oct. 17 card

A light heavyweight matchup between Nikita Krylov and Volkan Oezdemir is set to co-headline one of UFC’s October events.

UFC officials today announced the bout between Krylov (26-7 MMA, 8-5 UFC) and Oezdemir (17-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC) for Oct. 17.

The event takes place at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. It’s expected to air on ESPN or stream on ESPN+.

Krylov, 28, has alternated wins and losses in his four fights since returning to the UFC for a second stint in September 2018. “The Miner” is coming off a unanimous decision win over Johnny Walker at UFC on ESPN+ 28 in November in what was his first time ever winning on the scorecards.

Oezdemir, 31, meanwhile, will try to rebound from a second-round knockout against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 251 in July. Prior to that, he’d won consecutive bouts against Aleksander Rakic and Ili Latifi.

I'm surprised Volkan came back so soon after this.

Or should I say, he came back in no time? get it?

 

[Summoning]

I said the miner.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

He got another fight before Jiri did

 

[ImmigrantMentality]

Why aren't these guys getting long suspensions after getting knocked out like they used to before?

 

[AssassinFacedBaby]

Why aren't these guys getting long suspensions after getting knocked out like they used to before?

Because just bleed that’s fucking why

 

[Morris88]

Great fight!! I say Volkan takes him

 

[EndlessCritic]

Why aren't these guys getting long suspensions after getting knocked out like they used to before?

This fight is 3 months away? When has anyone been given a mandatory suspension of more than 90 days?

Rozenstruik was only suspended 60 days after getting killed by Ngannou for instance.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Either Volkan KO
Or Krylov Sub

really good on a limb here fam

 

[capnlarge]

Close fight. Gun to my head I have Krylov

 

[AmericanMMA]

Get Jiri another fight

 

[Gio]

Great co-main. I bet this won't go the distance and finish early which is nice.

 

[mmacool]

Volkan will take this. Ko second round.

 

[The Eagle]

Miner by submission

 

[SakurabasEar]

I dont judge volkan for getting koed by jiri.

Jiri=Akuma

Rooting for Volkan as always.

His hilarious KO of Manuwa helped make me a hardcore.

 

[TheLinguist]

VOLKAN IS ONLY 31?????

Shit I thought he was almost 40.

Hope he comes back strong

 

[The_Renaissance]

I like this fight, I have Oezdemir sneaking a decision.
