The UFC may have put a bow on their 2025 and have closed up shop for the next month, but that doesn\u2019t mean the MMA world has gone completely dark. There are plenty of promotions around the world that we can get our MMA fix from still this calendar year. For my MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: OKTAGON 81, we\u2019re off to the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic. Let\u2019s get it on, c\u2019mon!<\/p>\n

MMA Underdog Pick of the Week: OKTAGON 81
\nOKTAGON 81: Fleury vs Buday<\/a><\/p>\n

Start Time: Noon\u00a0EST Sunday (OKTAGON TV<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s massive OKTAGON 81, which is emanating from the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in Prague, is headlined by a heavyweight title fight between two fighters who made their names elsewhere. Current OKTAGON champ Will Fleury<\/a> found success in Bellator and the PFL before becoming a double-champ (light heavyweight and heavyweight) in OKTAGON; his challenger, Martin Buday, is coming off a 7-1 run in the UFC.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m going with the champ to retain his heavyweight belt. Fleury may be the betting dog, but I like him in the striking department, and I think he can push the pace and use his cardio as an advantage against the challenger.<\/p>\n

OKTAGON 81 Underdog Pick: Will Fleury ML (+145)<\/p>\n
