Daniel Cormier vs. Volkan Oezdemir will surely be the next welterweight title fight in the UFC
The two have agreed to face each other, and just yesterday we indicated that they will possibly do so next month in UFC 220.
Today, the Swiss fighter spoke about this possibility, stating that he is waiting for the contract.
"Nothing is confirmed right now, but we are in talks. I'm waiting for the contract to sign it."
He also spoke about whether he considers his teammate the true king of the division.
"He is the champion, I have no doubt about that. He defeated everyone in the division. He is one of the best pound-for-pound. It's amazing for me to fight him."
The champion has not spoken much about his teammate yet, but he has spoken about whether he considers himself the true king.
"I am the champion, but I know I lost my last fight, even though it shouldn't have happened. So I have to win before I feel secure with my title. I am the champion because the fight was unfair, but in my mind I lost. People who support me easily respond to the question of whether I am the champion or not, but for me it is more difficult. Minutes before starting on UFC Tonight, Dana White called me to tell me that I was the champion again. He told me that he understood that this is not how I wanted to become champion again, but he congratulated me. But they know how I am, they know that I am a very competitive person. I think things will improve and I will feel better with the title when I defend it."
