Fans are calling for the UFC to sign a two-weight champion after his latest win
Conor McGregor famously held two titles at the same time during his legendary UFC career.
In March, Will Fleury, his SBG teammate, achieved the same feat in one of Europe’s best MMA leagues.
The light heavyweight and heavyweight OKTAGON champion picked up the biggest win of his career on Sunday evening.

Will Fleury KNOCKS OUT Martin Buday
Will Fleury’s latest opponent was fighting for the first time since his shock release from the UFC.
In July, MMA’s premier promotion opted not to re-sign Martin Buday when his contract expired.
At the time, he was ranked #12 in the UFC heavyweight division, which has faced ‘shallow’ criticism.
Martin Buday won seven of his eight UFC fights and only tasted defeat in the Octagon one time.
So, many believed he would beat Will Fleury and take his heavyweight title at OKTAGON 81.
Buday ended up getting knocked out inside two minutes at the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.
Fleury caught his opponent’s kick attempt and countered with an overhand left to score an early knockdown.
Buday managed to get back to his feet, but never truly recovered. Fleury continued to wail on him until he fell to the floor, turtled up, and gave veteran referee Marc Goddard the perfect opportunity to wave off the fight after just 100 seconds.
