ABU DHABI – Fighting Nikita Krylov has twice the incentive for Volkan Oezdemir.
Almost immediately after Oezdemir (18-6 MMA, 6-5 UFC) and Krylov picked up wins on the same night in London this past July, the pair were matched up for Saturday’s UFC 280 event when Krylov respectfully called him out.
Oezdemir snapped Paul Craig’s winning streak, whereas Krylov (28-9 MMA, 9-7 UFC) picked up a quick knockout of Oezdemir’s teammate, Alexander Gustafsson.
