Joaquin Buckley is a KO artist that was just recently signed to the UFC a little over three months ago. Buckley is a powerful middleweight, that gained popularity with his viral KO of Impa Kasanganay last month, with a jumping spinning back kick in the second round.
Buckley’s spinning kick finish was beautiful and I expect it’s a move that fans will see on highlight reels for years to come. Buckley has most of the KOs/TKOs on his record with his hands, however, the fluidity and creativity that he uses to piece together his striking can not be understated. Joaquin is a veteran of Shamrock Fighting Championships, Bellator, and LFA promotions where he holds multiple KOs in all three.
How about THAT knockout from EVERY angle!? 😱
