The Swiss international is known for his speed and he pounced on Menifield early in the first round. Menifield caught him briefly but that did not deter Oezdemir. UFC Qatar has produced plenty of finishes and Oezdemir continued the streak. A brilliantly violent finish against the cage with a perfect combination.

Menifield was out on his feet before Oezdemir crumbled him to the canvas. This victory puts Oezdemir back in the win column after his loss earlier this year top contender Carlos Ulberg. The 36 year old is still so dangerous even as he ages. Three first round victories in his last four bouts Oezdemir continues to prove one of the toughest test at light heavyweight for any new comers into the division.
