Oezdemir, Prochazka headline UFC 251 Prelims on TSN. MORE:
Oezdemir earned the nickname “No Time” for two lightning-fast, highlight-reel victories that earned him a shot at then light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.
Oezdemir was ultimately unsuccessful in his title challenge, losing to Cormier via second-round TKO at UFC 220 in Boston. The Fribourg, Switzerland native has since righted the ship and comes into Saturday’s bout riding a two-fight winning streak with triumphs over Ilir Latifi and most recently, Aleksandar Rakic, who he defeated by split decision in Busan, South Korea last December.
Prochazka will be making his promotional debut at UFC 251 but is a veteran fighter, currently holding an overall record of 26-3-1.
