Finalist of The Ultimate Fighter 32, Kaan Ofli, is eyeing a UFC championship within the next two years. Beyond his participation in the reality show, the Australian-Turkish fighter is geared up for his upcoming match at UFC Vegas 96 against Mairon Santos in the featherweight tournament finals, where a UFC contract is on the line. After waiting for ten years for this opportunity, Ofli has a clear roadmap towards his goal of contending for the UFC title.
He envisions himself competing for the championship in the next two to two-and-a-half years and plans to stay busy with three fights scheduled in different locations next year. Despite his recent wins being non-official bouts, Ofli boasts a 10-fight winning streak and believes he can emulate the path of other fighters who quickly rose to title contention in the UFC.
With his extensive experience competing for various promotions and a strong training background, Ofli is self-assured in his capability to become a top contender in a swift manner. His past interactions with former UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski have bolstered his confidence in his potential.
Recognizing the immense value of training and sparring with elite fighters such as Volkanovski and Diego Lopes, Ofli sees this as a significant asset that will aid him in his pursuit of the championship. While he acknowledges the possibility of a future showdown with Lopes, he maintains a respectful attitude towards his fellow fighters for now.
