Martin Buday VS Lazar Todev

Lazar Todev defeated Martin Buday by unanimous decision in the featured heavyweight bout at Oktagon 89 in Bratislava on June 6, 2026. All three judges scored the fight 30-27 for Todev, a unanimous shutout reflecting his consistent control across all three rounds. Buday, who previously won the OKTAGON heavyweight title before losing it to Will Fleury by first-round KO at Oktagon 81, could not establish his game over the three rounds against the Bulgarian veteran. The result improved Todev's professional record to 14-7.

This heavyweight showdown between the promotion's top two ranked fighters serves as an unofficial title eliminator, with the winner earning the inside track to another shot at champion Will Fleury. Buday, a former UFC standout seeking redemption after being stopped in 100 seconds in his Oktagon title bid, clashes with Todev, a fellow ex-challenger who has rebounded with back-to-back wins over UFC veterans Luis Henrique Barbosa and Josh Parisian.
