Impact Odds exploded in the hours leading up to this fight, juicing up Buckley to a (-167) favorite after he spent the week as a significant underdog. It seems the sharp bettors got some bad information, as Brady effortlessly secured takedowns throughout the fight, securing a whopping 245 total strikes and controlling from top position. The 33-year-old needed to make a statement after being knocked out in Round 1 by Michael Morales, and he showed exactly what he can do when he is at his best. Brady has all the skills to be a title contender in the ultra-competitive welterweight division, but he will need to string together a few more wins to throw his hat in the ring. Brady improved to 19-2-0 in professional MMA due to the victory.
