Parisian Quickly Rebooked Against Martin Buday
Parisian has been quickly rebooked for a fight against Martin Buday at UFC Vegas 78 on August 12, 2023. Buday is a 31-year-old Hungarian heavyweight with a record of 12-1. Buday is a rising star in the heavyweight division. He is coming off a win over Jake Collier at UFC Vegas 72. He is a dangerous striker and grappler, and he will be a tough test for Parisian.
Parisian on the other hand, is coming off a loss against Jamal Pogues in his last fight where he was out-grappled to a unanimous decision loss. He needs a big rebound win at UFC Vegas 78 if he wants to ensure he keeps his spot in the UFC long-term.
Buday is the clear favorite in this fight. He is the more experienced fighter, and he has a more diverse skill set. However, Parisian is a dangerous striker, and he should not be overlooked.
Buday will likely look to take Parisian down and control him on the ground. Parisian will need to be careful not to get caught in a submission, as Buday is a very dangerous grappler.
If Parisian can stay on his feet, he will have a chance to win the fight. He is a good striker, and he has the power to knock Buday out.
However, I think Buday will be too much for Parisian. I expect him to win by decision or submission.
UFC Vegas 78
UFC Vegas 78 is scheduled to take place on August 12, 2023, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event of the card is a welterweight fight between Vicente Luque and Rafael Dos Anjos.
The cancellation of the Parisian vs. Harris fight is not the only recent fight cancellation in the UFC. Gaston Bolanos was removed from his scheduled bout with Marcus McGhee at UFC Vegas 78 due to an injury sustained during practice.
