A matchup of middleweight knockout artists is on tap for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Jan. 15, as Joaquin Buckley will lock horns with Abdul Razak Alhassan.
Multiple outlets confirmed the booking following an initial report by MMA Ideas. The card is headlined by a featherweight showdown between Calvin Kattar and Giga Chikadze but does not yet have an official venue or location.
Buckley rose to prominence on the strength of a 2020 “Knockout of the Year” victory against Impa Kasanganay at UFC Fight Night 179.
