– Colby Covington’s fighting style is very predictable. People see how he lost to Leon Edwards or Kamaru Usman. He lost time and time again. the truth is that if you stop his takedowns then everything falls into place later.

– Joaquin works great from a distance, above that he does evasions, dismounts, we saw what he did in the duel with Stephen Thompson. I have a high opinion of Buckley, this kid is dangerous. I really see the possibility that Colby Covington will lose the fight with Joaquin Buckley before time, I believe it will happen.
