Today’s UFC Busan event is co-headlined by a light heavyweight matchup featuring Volkan Oezdemir taking on Alexander Rakic.<\/p>\n
Oezdemir (16-4 MMA) recently put an end to his three-fight losing skid in August by scoring a second round knockout victory over Ilir Latifi. ‘No Time’ has gone 4-3 thus far in his UFC career, scoring highlight reel knockout wins over Jimi Manuwa and Misha Cirkunov during that stretch.<\/p>\n
As for Rakic (12-1 MMA), the Austrian fighter was last seen in action at June’s UFC event in Stockholm, where he scored a first round knockout victory over Jimi Manuwa<\/a>. Rakic has gone 4-0 since joining the UFC ranks<\/a> in September of 2017.<\/p>\n Tonight’s co-headliner proved to be a back and forth affair. Both Oezdemir and Rakic seemingly moved like middleweights while throwing heavyweight-like power shots throughout the fifteen minute fight. After three very competitive rounds of action the fight went to the judges scorecards for decision. In the end, ‘No Time’ was awarded a split-decision victory over his Austrian opponent.<\/p>\n Official UFC Busan Result: Volkan Oezdemir def.
