Joaquin Buckley is still reeling from his loss to Kamaru Usman in Atlanta.
Boasting a five-fight win streak, ‘New Mansa’ went into last Saturday’s headliner determined to get the biggest win of his career and put himself in pole position for a shot at the UFC welterweight championship. Needless to say, things did not go according to plan.
Instead, the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ shut down Buckley’s offense with ease, scoring takedowns at will and landing a dominant unanimous decision victory.
After getting taken down four times and surrendering nearly 13 minutes of control time to Usman, Buckley was left “embarrassed” by his performance.
