fight we got Andre Petroski taking on Dylan buka and Andre Petroski he got back into the windcom July 13th after dropping two fights in a row it was a must win for him he was 5-0 at one point in the UFC so he needs to beat Dylan bukan in dominant fashion if he wants to try to work his way back towards the top 15 again Dylan Buck's 0 And1 in the UFC and he had a bad performance in his debut he fought a high level kickboxer in Cesar Almeida and he got finished in the second round round one he he was controlling ala but kind of ineffective takedown attempts and he got tired and then taken out in the second and he's only seven and three so he just has two more total fights in Patos as UFC fights he's still green he's still learning and this is a really hard style matchup in my opinion budka has not been Pro that long he's only been a pro since 2022 he's racked up a lot of fights in a short period but he has to level up if he wants to stay the UFC as of now he's a pure grinder he wants to use big striking actions to close a distance wrestle he has solid wrestling although it isn't anything special and if he can get in top position he's decent at holding guys down but his last fight wasn't really successful with that game plan against Alida and he actually got you know finished trying to get a take down against the cage with Clint strikes um he's not very dangerous you know he could always land a fluke high kick or a big left hook but he isn't even really trying to knock you out on the feet he wants to get a hold of you and just kind of grind away he doesn't throw strikes in the clinch when he's going for takedowns and he can kind of just be inefficient energy expenditure as last fight he did um almost like control the first round like literally five minutes and he was only able to land one significant strike so it just shows he wasn't really doing too much um buka has been submitted one time which was in his Pro debut but other than that he's never been submitted but he has had other fights where he's kind of left his neck out there and you don't want to do that against Petroski um I feel like Andre petki is going to be a dangerous opponent for MRE patoski is a blackb he has three submission wins in the UFC and it's been over two years since he's turned a submission so I think he's going to be hungry to try to get a finish against a guy that he thinks might not be on his level early on he's really lethal with the chokes he has uh good offensive and defensive wrestling and I think if Dylan buka shoots a bad shot on patrki leaves his neck out there patoski will snatch it up he's explosive he's strong and patoski does slow down if he can get stuck on the feet you could also knock him out for sure you know he's shown kind of not the best durability but he is powerful he just has short arms and kind of can reach to close the distance but I feel like he has more striking experience honestly and would be able to win a sloppy striking fight and I think he's the better Grappler and definitely live to get a submission win here I think he could take down butut as well as potentially catch a front choke when bucket tries to shoot on shoot in on him um so I just think this is a difficult match up for Dylan Buck he's going to have to try to be tactical with when he brings the fight to the ground and I expect him to probably look to cage push a lot and try to gas Petroski and maybe win a boring decision but I just think patoski is way further ahead on the ground with the submission threat I think he's fought a lot better Strikers and I'm going to predict Andre patoski goes in there and gets the first round submission in this fight I think that it'll be a levels fight trosi will be able to show that he's still a decent competitor in this UFC middleweight division
