Martin Buday vs Jake Collier Prediction: A fight that will go till dawn

Martin Buday and Jake Collier will fight at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and it looks like it will be a close fight. After a first-round knockout on Dana White's Contender Series, Martin Buday was invited to join the UFC. However, since 2014, Jake Collier has been competing in the UFC across multiple weight divisions.

After knocking out Lorenzo Hood in the second round of Dana White's Contender Series, Buday improved his record to 11-1 in mixed martial arts competition and 2-0 in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Since Buday made the jump to the major leagues, he has won two matches by decision, one against Chris Barnett and the other against Lukasz Brzeski. When it comes to grappling, Martin Buday is not as effective as some of the other grapplers because he only gets his opponents down 0.40 percent of the time in a three-round match. The percentage of times that Buday successfully completes a takedown is 15%, while he defends 15% of other fighters' attempts at takedowns. On the other hand, considering how well the Slovakian fighter has performed in the bouts that have come before this one, we anticipate that he will once again deliver a performance of the highest caliber.

Collier, who has a record of 13-8 in MMA and 5-7 in the UFC, has been defeated in three of his most recent four fights, but he has shown a combative spirit in each of those defeats. Fans have expressed their opinions on both defeats, with the most contentious one being a split decision loss to Andrei Arlovski. Jake Collier's most recent fight was against Chris Barnett, and it resulted in a loss for Collier, who was knocked out in the second round by punches to the head while he was mounted on Barnett's opponent. Collier is successful in taking down his opponents 35 percent of the time out of the 75 times he attempts a takedown, while his opponents are unsuccessful in their takedown attempts 67 percent of the time.

Due to the fact that both competitors have demonstrated high-caliber character, we anticipate this bout to be a tight one. However, we have high hopes for Collier to win because he is currently competing at the highest level and has a lot of experience.
