Prediction for the fight Andrei Orlovsky – Martin Budaj (06/30/2024)
On the night of June 29-30, the UFC 303 tournament will take place in Las Vegas (USA). For this occasion, the promotion prepared a powerful letter. Andrei Orlovsky and Martin Budaj will compete in one of their fights.
Recently, the 45-year-old wrestler’s career has been going downhill rapidly. Andrei Orlovsky was clearly unsuccessful in the last three fights. It all started with a loss to Marcos Rogerio de Lima by rear-naked choke, then the Belarusian lost to Don’Tayle Mays by technical knockout and in his last fight he lost by decision to Waldo Cortez-Acosta.
Now Orlovsky’s contract with the UFC is in doubt, but the veteran himself is not willing to continue his career. At least that’s how sources interpreted his recent message on social media. Objectively, the fighter’s best years are behind him and a probable defeat in the fight with Martin Budaj could lead to this decision.
We are waiting for the real feeling:
Brian Ortega – Diego López. The fighters will exceed all expectations.
Surprisingly, with a high level of fighting and grappling skills, Andrey rarely uses them in his professional career. He prefers to work standing, carefully and methodically waiting for his opponent to make a mistake. Furthermore, despite his good physical characteristics, Pitbull’s punches lack knockout power.
Martin Budaj, 32, is slightly larger in size than his opponent, but this fact is unlikely to give him an advantage in the standing position. The fact is that the Slovak practically did not practice striking martial arts and his technique was of a low level. He defends himself poorly, trying to block rather than avoid the blow. This leads to many missed shots.
Budaya has a good school of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but Martin rarely knocks down his opponent. This is surprising, because with such size and skill, wrestling could become the Slovak’s trump card, but for now he prefers to work in a standing position, although with varying success.

Budaj most likely feels insecure in the UFC, having only joined Dana White’s organization in 2022. And in December 2023, Shamil Gaziev taught Martin a lesson and defeated the Slovak by TKO. But it is important to highlight his excellent defense against takedowns and his ability to perform spectacular techniques.
What to bet on?
Andrei Orlovsky and Martin Budaj will most likely spend most of the fight on their feet. In this scenario, no one will have a significant advantage. Both fighters are slow, their technical base is limited and their punches clearly lack emphasis and power.
Budai may risk taking the fight to the ground, especially with Orlovsky’s pressure in the exchange of blows. Here Martin has a better chance of making a successful catch. He is quite capable of realizing his superiority in fighting. The opponents’ cardio is weak, which causes the fighters to act actively, so we will bet that the fight will not last more than three rounds, with an odds of 2.30.
Tender: total less than 2.5 rounds in 2.30.
