UFC welterweight star Joaquin Buckley had a fun moment with popular streamer N3on on April 18, 2025, during a sparring session that quickly turned hilarious. The video, which has been making rounds on social media, shows the No. 6 ranked fighter playfully dominating N3on, who couldn’t keep up and even ran away at one point.
Buckley, 30, is on a hot streak in the UFC with five straight wins, including knockouts over big names like Stephen Thompson and Colby Covington in late 2024. He’s known for his power and exciting fighting style, making him a fan favorite in the 170-pound division.
N3on, whose real name is Rangesh Mutama, is a 20-year-old YouTube and Twitch streamer with a big following for his gaming and trolling content. The two met up to create a video for N3on’s audience, but things didn’t go as planned for the young internet star.

In the video, N3on looked terrified as soon as the sparring started. Buckley, who could easily overpower most people, took it easy and didn’t hit hard, but N3on still ran away during their session. At one point, N3on tried to put Buckley in a rear naked choke, a popular grappling move, but Buckley let him try it before effortlessly getting out. Fans on social media found it funny, with some saying N3on made another streamer, Sneako, look like a boxing legend in comparison.
