TAMPA, Fla. – Joaquin Buckley kept things short, sweet, and to the point during his UFC on ESPN 63 post-fight news conference Saturday.
Following the most high-profile victory of his career, Buckley (21-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) only answered one question from reporters, but touched on a lot of topics in doing so.
“My first main event was a big success,” Buckley told MMA Junkie and others backstage at Amalie Arena. “I feel like the whole card was very successful, getting a lot of knockouts. I feel like my fights shouldn’t have been stopped. It is what it is. You’ve got to protect the fighters. I feel like 2025 is definitely my year and we definitely taking over. With this being said, this is on a six-fight winning streak. I’ve got eight knockouts within the UFC.
