Short-notice debut scheduled
Budka is scheduled to compete against Cesar Almeida in a middleweight fight at UFC Vegas 90 on April 6, per Nolan King of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
Initially, Almeida was expected to fight Josh Fremd before he withdrew from UFC Vegas 90. But on short notice, Budka has volunteered, quickly processing his first opportunity to debut for the promotion since winning a contract via Dana White's Contender Series.

Grinds out contract
Budka defeated Chad Hanekom via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of five fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
This was far from your typical contract-worthy performance, as Budka and Hanekom took turns trying to bring each other to the floor for 15 minutes, which resulted in a tremendous amount of stalling against the cage. In the end, Budka ended up in better positions more often, but there was nothing in this victory that indicated "The Mindless Hulk" would be able to make a charge in the middleweight division. Budka does have a college wrestling pedigree, but it's hard to see the 23-year-old as much more than roster depth ahead of his organizational debut.
