UFC Tampa social media reactions: Fighters rip Colby Covington after bloody loss to Joaquin Buckley

Joaquin Buckley Colby Covington UFC Tampa UFC on ESPN 63 (Organization) Belal Muhammad Mike Bohn MMA Junkie UFC Europe

The final UFC fight of 2024 is a wrap, and Joaquin Buckley was the last man to get his hand raised inside the octagon with a UFC on ESPN 63 victory over Colby Covington.

Buckley (22-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) improved to a stellar 6-0 since dropping to welterweight in May 2023 when he scored the third-round doctor’s stoppage TKO win over former interim divisional champion Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., and as a result raised his stock higher than it has ever been in his octagon tenure.

Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Buckley beating Covington at UFC on ESPN 63.
