Booked against Valter Walker
Tybura will take on Valter Walker in a heavyweight matchup at UFC Seattle on March 28, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Tybura suffered a first-round knockout at the hands of Ante Delija in September, snapping a two-fight winning streak. He now draws Walker, another ranked opponent, who was on a four-fight winning streak before his momentum was stalled a bit by a leg injury. Walker will bring a high-volume wrestling attack to the cage, though Tybura has formidable wrestling skills of his own, including a 75 percent takedown defense.

Inconsistent ways continue
Tybura lost to Ante Delija via TKO (punches) at 2:03 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
If there's a hole in Tybura's game, even in this latter stage of his career, it's a lack of durability. He's a big, lumbering guy and his chin has always been a question mark. Unfortunately for Marcin, it reared its ugly head once again here. Facing a debuting Delija, Tybura simply allowed his opponent to push forward without resistance and unload power shots which were eventually enough to earn the stoppage. Of Tybura's 10 career setbacks, a half dozen now have come via knockout. Set to turn 40 years of age in November, Marcin figures to hover around the .500 mark moving forward.

Taking on Delija in Paris
Tybrua will fight Ante Delija in a heavyweight bout at UFC Paris on Sept. 6, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Tybura has won two straight bouts to push his UFC record to 14-8. His last time in the Octagon, he disposed of Mick Parkin via unanimous decision back in March. Now, he'll take on Delija, a Croatian fighter who will make his UFC debut. Tybura should be a heavy favorite in this one.

Hands Mick Parkin first loss
Tybura defeated Michael Parkin via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Tybura is now 39 years old and wildly inconsistent, but he also has a ton of experience against quality opposition and has been in multiple main events during his time with the UFC. In other words, he's the perfect litmus test for a younger fighter such as Parkin. The two fought to virtually even terms this evening and the decision could have gone either way. Tybura landed 61 significant strikes compared to 60 for Mick. Both men connected on a takedown. Flip a coin. Marcin has very quietly won three of four dating back almost exactly a year.

Will face Parkin
Tybura will take in Michael Parkin in a heavyweight bout at UFC London on March 22, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Tybura is coming off a bounce-back win over Jhonata Diniz via doctor's stoppage back in November. That win pushed the heavyweight's record to 13-8 in the UFC, and he'll face an opponent in Parkin who boasts a perfect 4-0 record in the promotion. Parkin has an inch of both reach and height on Tybura.
