Volkan Oezdemir reveals Khamzat Chimaev was ‘a big part’ of his training camp for UFC London

UFC light heavyweight Volkan Oezdemir has been training with Khamzat Chimaev in preparation for UFC Fight Night 208 where he meets Scotland’s Paul Craig this weekend at The O2.

Oezdemir made the switch from Combat Club in Switzerland to Sweden’s Allstar Training Center, home to the likes of Chimaev and former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson.

‘No Time’ revealed ‘Borz’ played a huge part in his training camp for UFC London and hopes the time he spent working with the undefeated Chechnan will pay off dividends come fight night.

“It’s where I’m residing now,” Oezdemir said of his switch to Allstar Training Center in a recent interview with MMA Junkie.
