The UFC mixed martial arts tournament on ESPN + 37 in Abu Dhabi, Iasi, recorded the best knockout to date in 2020 and, according to many, one of the best knockouts in UFC history.
Former Bellator fighter in preliminary Joaquinas Buckley (11-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) go Impa Kasanganay (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) tied in the first round and J.Buckley shone in the second. He performed a high kick, which was blocked by J. Kasanganay, but this was not a problem, he was still standing on his left leg, with whom he turned and dropped J. Kasanganay with an impressive blow to the jaw.
At the age of 26, Buckley was the first victory in the UFC. He also received 50 thousand. Bonuses in USD for “Best Performance of the Night”.
“Everything still seems fake to me right now,” Buckley said at a news conference after the fight. “At the end of the day, people still don’t know much about fighting and only follow the people who have the most followers on social media. I’d better stay tuned and do what I do. “
Buckley said it was a move he was doing in the gym and he saw an opportunity for him.
“I realized this when he first grabbed my foot,” Buckley said. “Then I didn’t dare to do it, but when it happened the second time, I thought, why not? When I finished, I didn’t realize I was knocking him out until I saw his body freeze and fall. Oh yeah, then the game is over. I call that hit Wakanda style.
In Kasanganay, 26, it was the first overall loss of his career and a second fight in the UFC. Before that, he had won 8 consecutive victories (2 painful actions and 6 judges’ decisions).
As announced by the UFC president Dana White’as, this spectacular video has gone “viral” and received the most shares on Twitter of all videos.
White himself approached interviewer Buckley and praised him. The UFC president said he had received many messages and calls urging Buckley to give up all four awards for “Best Fight of the Night.”
“Aw no, you’re going to make me cry.”

By @danawhite, this is the most retweeted video in UFC history. The previous maximum was @MMANewsend of @vaquerocerrone. McGregor’s win had 27k retweets and this has vanished with a large chunk of the main card. https://t.co/ECUpWGnu4j
