Joaquin Buckley can no longer be denied.
Once a hot-and-cold middleweight, he is now 6-0 as a welterweight, with wins over a number of established contenders. His latest win came on Saturday night, when he capped off the UFC's return to Tampa with a vicious stoppage of three-time title challenger Colby Covington.
Buckley has options for his next fight. The same is true for flyweight contender Manel Kape, who was another of the big winners of the night. The former RIZIN star was back in action against Bruno Silva, who he pummelled to a referee stoppage in Round 3.
