Volkan 'No Time' Oezdemir earned his nickname with one of the fastest rises in light heavyweight history, blasting through Misha Cirkunov and Jimi Manuwa with brutal knockouts to land a 2018 title shot against Daniel Cormier barely a year into his UFC run. A heavy-handed striker, he's always a threat to end a fight with a single shot.
He came up short against Cormier and settled into the role of a dangerous, durable contender and gatekeeper, trading wins and losses with the division's best, including a close fight against future champion Magomed Ankalaev. Fans respect Oezdemir for his power and the fearless, finish-seeking approach that made his peak run so memorable.
Why fans love Oezdemir
