Joaquin Buckley entered UFC Fight Island 7 with two sensational knockout victories over Impa Kasanganay and Jordan Wright under his belt. The latest UFC viral sensation was hoping to keep the momentum alive with another potential statement-making knockout over his next opponent, Alessio Di Chirico. But that did not happen.
After some solid exchanges from both fighters during the opening round, Di Chirico landed a head kick that immediately crumpled Buckley and sent him falling awkwardly to the canvas. Di Chirico would follow up with a few punches to Buckley before the referee stepped in to bring the fight to an end.
