UFC books Martin Buday vs. Jake Collier for April 15 event
Martin Buday and Jake Collier are set to fight.
The two heavyweight fighters will collide at a UFC Fight Night event scheduled for April 15. The card does not yet have a publicly-known location or venue.
Two people with knowledge of the booking recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Buday (11-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) earned a shot in the UFC when he knocked out Lorenzo Hood on Dana White’s Contender Series. Since he took the step to the big leagues, Buday defeated Chris Barnett and Lukasz Brzeski via decision.
Collier (13-8 MMA, 5-7 UFC) has dropped three of his most recent four fights, though has put out competitive outings in the losses. Two of the losses were debated by fans, particularly a controversial split decision loss to Andrei Arlovski.
With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for April 15 includes:
- Bruna Brasil vs. Denise Gomes
- Martin Buday vs. Jake Collier
