The burly Slovakian used his trademark clinch-heavy style to get the better of things against Arlovski, landing knees to the midsection and short punches when the two were tied up. Buday traditionally does well to wear on people and neutralize their opportunities, and he did so again here, never really presenting opportunities for the former champion to get off sustained, significant offence.
Buday had his winning streak snapped at the close of last year, but got things moving in the right direction again here, moving to 5-1 inside the Octagon in the process. The 32-year-old can clearly win at this level, but it will be interesting to see if he’s able to raise his level as he continues working forward in the division. | Official Scorecards
