TAMPA, Fla. – Joaquin Buckley’s words still don’t sit well with Cub Swanson.
Swanson (29-14 MMA, 14-10 UFC) and Buckley (20-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) got heated over Buckley claiming that this version of him could knock out UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre. Swanson took it as disrespect to the welterweight great, which sparked a back-and-forth between the two.
Now, Swanson and Buckley are sharing Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 63 card at Amalie Arena (ESPN2, ESPN+). Swanson meets Billy Quarantillo (18-6 MMA, 6-4 UFC) in the co-main event, whereas Buckley faces Colby Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) in the headliner.
