Quick read
Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida publicly confirmed that he has signed with the UFC in an emotional Instagram post, marking the start of his move into the promotion’s heavyweight division. The report says UFC officials are already planning his promotional debut, with a tentative July 26 bout in Abu Dhabi against ranked heavyweight Martin Buday. The fight was not yet officially signed, but both sides had agreed in principle and were waiting on final contract approval. That makes this a key contract and fight-announcement update for his transition to the UFC.
