Joaquin Buckley has a chance to break into the elite of the division at UFC Tampa, but will Colby Covington’s wrestling be too much?

While Buckley never knocked down or seriously rocked Covington, his victory over the former interim UFC welterweight champion was well-earned. Buckley outstruck Covington in each round, defended most takedown attempts, mitigated damage on the bottom and always returned to his feet.

Joaquin Buckley continued his rise up the welterweight division, rolling to a TKO victory after a doctor stopped the fight due to a cut over Colby Covington's eye.
