PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Volkan Oezdemir ? Volkan Oezdemir  had a quick rise up the ranks of the UFC light heavyweight division. Originally signed as a late injury replacement for the injured Jan Blachowicz   Oezdemir  earned a split decision win over Ovince Saint Preux in February.  Oezdemir  followed that victory with first-round knockouts of Misha Cirkunov and Jimi Manuwa.  He  disposed of those fighters in a combined 70 seconds.
On January 20   Oezdemir  will face UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in the co-main event of UFC 220.
âI once said that if Iâm hanging around and fighting guys like  Volkan Oezdemir  Iâve done something terribly wrong with my money and my time. â Cormier said at the recent UFC 220 press conference. âI just never expected him to do what he did so fast. Heâs put himself in this position because heâs been impressive.â
âI wanted to fight for the belt as fast as I can because I know Iâm capable of anything â said  Oezdemir . âIâm there to win. In the UFC I wanted to fight the top (fighters) right away. Itâs the place for the top guys in the world. I fought my first fight against the No. 6 in the world on two weeksâ notice and I just kept on going. I fought two months later and six weeks after that I was fighting for the third time. Always against a ranked opponent and Iâm ready for the champion now.â
While  Oezdemir  is confident he can pull off the upset victory over Cormier  the champion had some words of warning for his younger opponent.
âThey turn over  they present their neck  and they tap out. Thatâs about to happen to  Volkan Oezdemir .â
 Oezdemir  doesnât think  he  will become the seventh submission win on Cormierâs record.
âI got a heart  man. Itâs not going to be that easy â  Oezdemir  said. âYou saw my fight  you saw everything I did. I donât think youâve seen everything Iâm capable of. All fights were so fast and youâre not gonna be different.â
