Winning streak snapped at six Buckley lost to Kamaru Usman via unanimous decision (46-49, 46-49, 47-48) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlanta.

Impact Buckley entered on a six-fight winning streak, with four of those victories coming via knockout. He met his match here against Usman, or more specifically, the grappling game of Usman. Buckley found himself down 20-18 before he could even blink. He gave up one takedown in each of the first two rounds and was never able to get back to his feet in either instance. The same thing happened in Rounds 3 and 4, but in those cases the takedowns came later in the frame. He was much better in the final stanza, stuffing the attempts, remaining upright, and landing some heavy blows, but the damage was already done. Joaquin is the type of fighter that can fall behind on the scorecards early because he has the power to end a fight in an instant, but you don't want to be looking for a miracle knockout every time out. Every opponent going forward is going to spam takedown attempts on Buckley, particularly early in the fight.
