UFC heavyweight Knezer Martin Buday (16-2) will not be signed again after his UFC Abu Dhabi victory on Marcus Almeida, who took place last weekend at the ESPN “Prelims” section of the “Whittaker vs. de Ridder” Vecht card in Abu Dhabi.
It is unusual for the promotion to separate with a graduated “contender series” with a record of 7-1 in the Octagon-included a 2024 victory over a former champion that leads to fans speculating that matchmakers are still in Buday’s upset victory over “Buuchecha”.
Almeida (5-2) is a highly decorated grappler who made his octagonal debut at UFC Abu Dhabi after having spent his career of his career to fight one championship. Matchmakers undoubtedly looked at the Brazilian to add more “respect” to heavyweight.
“Yes, it’s true, yesterday we received a phone call that UFC will not sign us again” social media. “Well, it’s what it is, at least I’m leaving my head up. Thanks.”
The 33-year-old Buday went to the scorecards of the jury in three straight victories after recovering from a technical knockout loss to Shamil Gaziev on UFC 296. Or his inability to end his most recent fights, played a role in the final decision.
