Oezdemir is always a chilled-out character, and being at ease with his situation can’t have been hurt by his last performance inside the Octagon.

“Fakhretdinov was ranked 15 when I got the contract. But yeah, for sure. I want to get towards the top as fast as possible.

“If I had to describe him by one word it wouldn’t be gritty, it wouldn’t be tough, it wouldn’t be any of those,” Ramos explained. “I’ve known him since he was a little kid, he’s a freaking winner. It doesn’t matter if it’s a one-point match, one minute left, he finds a way to win.
