Will Fleury def. Martin Buday TKO (punches) · R1 1:40
Fight Overview
A monumental heavyweight championship clash to close out 2025. Will Fleury, the reigning two-division champion (LHW & HW) and current P4P #1, looks to defend his heavyweight strap against the returning Slovak giant Martin Buday. Buday, a former Oktagon champion who never lost his belt in the cage, returns from a UFC stint (7-1 record) determined to reclaim his throne. This is a battle between Fleury's athleticism and grappling pressure versus Buday's immense size, clinch work, and durability.
Keys to Victory
Will Fleury
- Utilize superior mobility and cardio to tire the larger Buday in the later rounds
- Avoid the clinch against the fence where Buday excels at smothering opponents
- Chain wrestle to force Buday to carry weight, exploiting his difficult weight cut history
Martin Buday
- Impose physical size and force the fight into the clinch to stifle Fleury's movement
- Land short uppercuts and knees on the inside to deter takedown entries
- Conserve energy and use heavy top pressure if the fight hits the mat
