MONCTON, Canada – Volkan Oezdemir plans to take some time off to heal following his loss to Anthony Smith at UFC Fight Night 138. Oezdemir (15-3, 3-2 UFC) suffered a third-round submission defeat to Smith (31-13 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in Saturday’s headliner and has now dropped consecutive bouts after going on a winning streak that earned him a title shot to start his UFC tenure.
