Joaquin Buckley is a shoo-in for a performance bonus, but he may also have earned himself the “Knockout of the Year” in 2020 at UFC Fight Island 5.
After opponent Impa Kasanganay caught a kick, Buckley landed a jumping spinning kick right to the face of his opponent and knocked him stiff during the event’s preliminary card in Abu Dhabi.
UFC President Dana White already took to social media to award Buckley one of the night’s $50,000 bonuses, which would certainly compliment his first promotional win quite nicely.
