Joaquin Buckley showed the UFC fans that he is here to stay by viciously knocking out the previously undefeated middleweight prospect Jordan Wright in the prelims of UFC 255.
While Jordan, in his own right, has an impeccable stoppage record, he was found to be wanting against ‘New Mansa’ who weighed in for the fight 4 pounds below the allowed limit of 186 pounds.
Fighting in the UFC 255 undercard, Buckley pressured Jordan right from the start landing some clean strikes.
Buckley, however, was patient, and while Wright landed some great counter shots of his own, he always seemed a step behind.
Buckley almost ended the fight at the end of the first round after dropping Wright with a vicious right hand and then landed some brutal ground and pound which almost ended the fight.
Wright, it seemed, had weathered the storm and survived the onslaught.
However, he seemed dazed in his corner and was not clearly responding to the instructions from his coaches.
Joaquin Buckley took advantage of his grogginess and ended the fight with a brutal left hook-right hook combo early in the second round.
