It would take nothing less than an iconic moment for a fighter in the Ultimate Fighting Championship to reserve an immutable berth in the roundup of standout moments in the organization’s rich history. Joaquin Buckley did just that with a spinning back kick knockout of Impa Kasanganay. That victory went on to win the knockout of the month in October 2020 and the knockout of the year, undeniably occupying a shining spot among the best of the best. Since then, “New Mansa” has managed to accumulate a muddled record. However, the decision to return to the 170-pound bracket in 2023 yielded positive results for him, and he has gained ground in the division with a three-fight win streak.
