[@MrSefiroh]

For REAL. We all know it really is tho.

[@brandonhudson89]

Prob 3 but still the main event is eh so this needs to be on top lol

[@stackpapereveryday5682]

Everyone got respect for Luque. He’s never an easy fight. War.

[@cristianchavez1699]

love me some Buckley. Many things can be said but I will say this dude is a badass. I love having fighters that go in there to bang. Get the finish or get finished, love it

@@BPB9973952sadly you are right if he did he would be a good contender

[@youngsimba318]

⁠@@BPB9973952It’s not that he doesn’t have a chin, he literally was never supposed to be in the middleweight division.

[@Nonamemannn]

Buckley has matured a lot. Excited for this fight, two exciting fighters

[@ILoveGaza77]

Rooting for Buckley to get the win against Luque. I think it's time for him to shine.

[@ImUrZaddy]

If he wins in a spectacular fashion I hope UFC can make him a main event against Kevin Holland for a rematch

[@Abel-sp8yf]

Why would Kevin get a fight up in the ranking?

[@Sixsoul]

Kevin deserves the loser of this fight not the winner.

[@absterghh107907]

@@Abel-sp8yfbecause he already ko'd this dude tf and he's ranked 14 lol but I doubt he even wants the rematch doesn't need it

[@chopsticksandtrains]

I like this dude. Buckley's a real one.

[@prophetofstone]

This man has the most impressive technique of a knockout in the ufc of all time imo.

[@uniteuntie2661]

I love this guy! Creates exciting fights and will fight whoever he can. I hope he wins !

He might get flatlined, or win via ko. Always exciting regardless.

[@T_995]

I think swole Tyler the creator gets it done.

[@donnyrockett7490]

Work towards the title? Will never happen. I hope Luque flatlines him this weekend, but Im pretty worried about Luque here. Esp w his brain bleed situation and how hittable he is & the fact he chose to wrestle against RDA, so slight lean to Buckley this weekend but title never. Can name 20 guys at 170 who beat Buckley. But im sure it will be a fun scrap

[@tuctwins]

Seems he has turned the corner

[@Imhim247]

For some reason. He remind me of MC Hammer😅😂😂 The vibe in a way. I hope Buckley win

[@12ww37]

He do look like a 90s rapper lmao

[@marcusmustard8285]

@ 3:45 wtf are people promoting hypothetical fights in 2025 for? Promote Atlantic City. I get confused and lose brain cells listening. I am going to keep commenting every time too...cause it is constantly brought up. They do that shit about 'next fight and the fight after' and its like WTF?!?! The fighters dont want to hear it. It downplays Atlantic city, for me, as a fan... This is literally an Atlantic City press conference to promote Atlantic City Fight Night.

[@keepout7439]

A MOSTLY STRIKER AGAINST A MOSTLY GRAPPLER , SHOULD BE INTERESTING 🤔💯👍

[@j-wei4603]

Luque isn't a grappler, he's a brawler

[@rodstone1365]

Who has Buckley beat again?

[@ayeitsnino647]

🤡

Luque 😂😂 He just TKOed him

[@donnyrockett7490]

@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071 the country we are living in today though, unfortunately its not just online. It's homophobic and transphobic to say that that shit shouldn't be talked about to kids in school by teachers, and it's just a wild world we live in. Sodom and Gommorah all over again. None of my business what people do with their lives but keep that shit in the bedroom and away from kids and away from MMA videos lol

KO Vicente then headline the STL card against Sean Brady

John Kim Buckley is the man!
