TAMPA, Fla. – Joaquin Buckley sees right through Colby Covington’s gimmick entering their UFC on ESPN 63 main event clash.
Although Covington has downplayed knowledge of his opponent in Saturday’s welterweight headliner at Amalie Arena (ESPN2, ESPN+), Buckley said all of that is completely untrue after he’s had multiple interactions with “Chaos” in the past.
In fact, Buckley (21-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) said they’ve even shared the same training room at MMA Masters in Miami, which he believes makes Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) “nervous” going into their encounter this weekend. However, he doesn’t expect him to show that outwardly.
