Joaquin Buckley managed to deliver another highlight reel knockout.
Buckley took on the previously undefeated Jordan Wright in a middleweight bout on the prelims of UFC 255 on Saturday night.
Fresh off his knockout of the year against Impa Kasanganay last month, Buckley was under immense pressure to deliver yet another exciting finish and he managed to do just that.
The 26-year-old hurt Wright towards the end of the first round only for the bell to save the former.

As a result, Buckley earned his second UFC win in a row after suffering a knockout defeat to Kevin Holland in his promotional debut earlier this year.
Without naming him, he proceeded to call for a January 23rd fight with James Krause during his post-fight interview.
