UFC Tampa Post-Fight Show: Reaction to Joaquin Buckley's Incredible Performance Against Colby Covington

MMA Fighting

Joaquin Buckley may not have ended 2024 with a bang, but he did close the show with a sensational performance.

On Saturday, Buckley earned a third-round TKO victory over Colby Covington in the main event of UFC Tampa after battering “Chaos” en route to a doctor’s stoppage due to a nasty cut on Covington’s right eye.

Following Saturday’s event, the final UFC card of the year, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and E. Casey Leydon react to Buckley’s big win, his unique callout of Kamaru Usman, where Covington goes from here, Cub Swanson’s possible swan song, Manel Kape’s case for a flyweight title shot, and the rest of the night filled with incredible knockouts and finishes.
