DWCS signee Bolaji Oki would make four-day turnaround at UFC Fight Night 226 in Paris, if needed

Bolaji Oki is one of the newest additions to the UFC roster after his performance at Dana White’s Contender Series 60, and is willing to jet across the globe to make his promotional debut this week.

Oki (8-1), a 27-year-old Belgian lightweight, made quick work of his DWCS opponent Dylan Salvador (5-1), finishing their fight at the UFC Apex at 2:46 of Round 1. It was a quick and powerful display, and Oki was one of three fighters to earn a UFC contract at the end of the event.

Aside from being on the receiving end of a small number of strikes, “The Zulu Warrior” Oki appears unscathed and ready to get back into action as a UFC newcomer.

How soon? He’s game to debut this week in Paris at UFC Fight Night 226.

“Whatever, whenever, with whoever,” Oki told reporters during the DWCS 60 post-fight press conference about making his UFC debut. “If it’s in Europe, of course, it’s going to be better for me. France, Paris, I can even go, you know? First round, I don’t have nothing on my face. I can go tomorrow, you know?”

While it’s very unlikely Oki’s services would be needed on four days notice across globe, especially after just competing in a fight, the up-for-anything attitude is something the UFC brass loves to see. He’s riding an eight-fight winning streak that includes six stoppages, and is itching to make it nine.

“If they need me, I’m ready to go. Zulu never backs down for any fight, so yeah. I would love to fight anywhere. When the UFC calls, you get the call and you say yes. I’m that kind of guy.
