Preview: Craig vs. Oezdemir
Alternating runs of wins and losses have defined the Ultimate Fighting Championship run of Volkan Oezdemir, and he needs to start a new streak of the positive kind if he wishes to remain a factor in the light heavyweight division.
Heading into his matchup with Paul Craig at UFC Fight Night 208 this Saturday at O2 Arena in London, England, the cards appear to be stacked against the 32-year-old Swiss knockout artist. On a two-fight skid and facing a fighter in Craig who has won five straight, in front of a UK crowd that is likely to be overwhelmingly vocal in its support of the surging Scot, Oezdemir has his work cut out for him.
