Winner: Martin Buday

Confidence Score: 85

Martin Buday is an established UFC heavyweight with a 15-2 record and a current top-15 ranking, while Marcus Buchecha is making his UFC debut with no MMA record in the promotion. Buday has demonstrated solid striking (54% accuracy), strong defense (55% sig strike defense, 100% takedown defense), and durability with a high average fight time (10:50). Heavyweight debutants without high-level MMA experience historically struggle against ranked, experienced UFC heavyweights, especially those with proven takedown defense and finishing ability. Buchecha's world-class grappling is notable, but without proven MMA striking or cage experience, the matchup heavily favors Buday, who can dictate range, defend takedowns, and exploit Buchecha's inexperience under UFC rules.
