Currently 4-1 in his last five professional outings, Barnett will be hoping to make amends for his promotional defeat against Ben Rothwell and go 2-1 in the UFC this weekend.

Going into this weekend’s eye-catching heavyweight clash, Buday will have a significant advantage in both the height and reach department.
When looking at this fight, it’s a real tough matchup for Barnett. Due to Buday’s advantage in height and reach, he will be looking to use that to his advantage. The Slovakian’s forward pressure and work in the clinch will prove to be a tough test for Barnett.
From the off, we suspect that Buday will be the aggressor early and not give Barnett the chance to implement his style. Wherever the fight goes, Buday will feel as if he has the edge and will be able to stop Barnett.
