News UFC parts ways with #12 ranked HW Martin Buday

Buday also finished Parisian. Ankalaev finished similar competition. For rest he just grinded his opponent on cage, same as Buday. Btw if he chosed same gameplan as Buday vs Fleury. He would get destroyed in same way.
You're absolutely fucking retarded if you think Ankalaev would lose to Fleury (barely got past washed up Jotko while roided) or Buday (Gaziev's punching bag and consistently a shitty blob that is a chore to watch).

I get not liking him but Ankalaev literally found himself in two title fights while only losing 2 fights in the UFC, Buday never sniffed even close to that before he got fed to a debuting Gaziev.

And other than the draw with Jan and the Poatan fight, none of Big Ank's decision wins were really even close.

Yes 100% think that Ankalaev would get folded by Fleury if he chosed same stupid gameplan as Buday and wanted to push forward and not wrestle or clinch. I aswell think that Buday would destroy Ankalaev in grappling.

In my opinion Ankalaev is overall better fighter than Buday or Fleury...but he is simply not "special" anywhere. I personally think that he wouldn't ever touch title if there was not Ali behind him. Favourable matchmaking and tailored gameplans with his capability/skill of executing them is main reason of his success + thin LHW division.

UFC never wanted Big Ank to be the champ regardless of whatever Ali did which wasnt much. He won many fights in a row but they would usually just try to give him a fighter they could afford to lose, who wont ever be champ like Walker, or Ion. You couldnt call those fights boring, he knocked them both out. They just didnt like his personality or the fact that sometimes his fights were dull. They especially hated him after the Jan fight went the way it did, even though people conveniently forget that he got injured early in the fight. They put Ank in Jon Fitch's spot, hoping that he would lose eventually, so they could avoid having him derail a top contender, or never get a shot, but that never happened. Eventually they had to give him one. He got to where he is because of his skill, and when they finally gave him a top ranked opponent like Rakic, he was able to beat him, when he got a title shot he was able to win it. So no, there was no favourable matchups, He got there because of his skills. Even people who hate Ank know that the guy is obviously very skilled, he is without doubt one of the best LHW's in the UFC. Like him or not.

Fleury or Buday is none of these things.

I agree to disagree with you. His title shot was gifted after beating people like Anthony Smith or Walker. He had favourable matchups all the time and UFC definitely did not hold him away from being champ because of market behind him. + Ali advocating for him. All that changed when he showed absolute pathetic performance in already mentioned title fightt vs Jan...Jan which is atm looking at 2 loses and draw with Guskov. That was strike 1, strike 2 was complaining and stating that result was robbery + add "ramadan",etc... Its basically same with Arman now.

BTW Ankalaev got basically identical UFC record as Hill and had same "lucky" way to title and will also end up on losing streak if he fights Jiri next. Thats my opinion, guess time will show us who was right.

- Johnny Walker & Anthony Smith were both on 3 fight win streaks when Ankalaev defeated them
- He also had defeated Santos, Oezdemir and Krylov who were all in the top 10 at the time
- He was on a 9 fight win streak when he got his title shot

"Gifted" lol, if you don't like the guy just say as much. His style isn't for everyone, I get it. 4 wins in the division's top 10 & then a title shot isn't "gifted" in any weight class.

But he wasn't fast tracked and he beat everyone he had to get a title shot. Then he defeated the champion, without controversy.

Walker on 3 fights win streak against Cutelaba, Craig, Smith. Then he got knocked out by everyone until Yang which is being pushed aswell because of Chinese market. Smith was on winstreak against Devin Clark, Jimmy Crute and Spann...Santos was 1/3 in last four before fight with Ankalaev and that one win was vs Walker.

As i said Ankalaev's team / manager are great in this...also declining title fight vs healthy Pereira cuz Ramadan and then year later accepting title fight during Ramadan vs injured Pereira. Same not wanting fight Jiri, calling him fake ninja which is not worthy of fight, etc...then calling him for short notice during Jiri's final exams which was known date.

So then no one in the rankings was good enough to beat for a title shot because the top 10 is a fake top 10, apparently.

No one knew or cared about the date of Jiri's final exams

- Ankalaev's team doesn't know Pereira's injury status lol, come on
- UFC and Pereira stacked the deck against Ankalaev by offering to fight him while he had to train during Ramadan and Ankalaev still won
- That was Ali trashing Jiri, not Ankalaev. Regardless, talk was all that was ever going to be because Ankalaev was always going to rematch Pereira after the first fight. They were just drumming up some attention when it briefly looked like Pereira wasn't too interested in the rematch ("I got hacked" etc.)
 
Why are you retards arguing over Ankalaev and Fleury in a thread about Buday. Fleury is a roided up freak and couldn't pass a piss test in the UFC so what's the fucking point.
Well if your so smart, you would see the reason why we are talking about Ankalaev is because Tokoloko brought him up to slander him, and Fleury just knocked out Buday. It doesnt take a genius to figure this out, unless you think threads that start out about certain fighters cannot include the people they fought?

And about Buday??

There is nothing to say !

You're in luck, there's a sub-forum dedicated to exactly that, fantasy matchups.

But this thread isnt about fantasy matchups and Buday actually fought Fluery.
 
If its not about Aspinall being a giant pussy it doesn't belong here. @mods snap snap
The thread has Ankalaev in it so we're OK i think.
