Andrei went from the scariest guy on the planet to a but of a pitter patter striker. He is still a crafty veteran, but he is old as well and has noticeably declined. If Martin Buday had more cardio, he would be the lock of this card, but there is a world where Buday slows down, loses his sting and Andrei wins a 29-28 jabbing fight. Martin is the pick, I will likely bet him, but will not be exposed.

Andre Arlovski

Andrei Arlovski is a legend. it's crazy how long he has been fighting. I watched him beat Paul Buentello live at UFC 55 19 years ago when he was the heavyweight champion of the world. He was unbeatable in his prime and is for sure a hall of famer. He has very good boxing, pretty good kicks and is firmly in the twilight of his career. He has been fighting for well over 20 years and brings all of that knowledge into every single fight. Obviously being 45 years old, the big question is will his chin hold up and the answer is it will not. He has literally every single skill to be successful, just not the chin he needs.

Martin Buday

Martin Buday is a powerful striker with heavy hands and 11 stoppage wins. He has solid footwork and throws everything with intent. He averages almost 6 signifigant strikes landed per minute but is a hittable himself and can be a slow starter. He is coming off the TKO loss to Shamil Gaziev where he couldn't handle the forward pressure.
