Originally scheduled to fight Abdul Razak Hassan (11-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) in January, Buckley (13-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) now has his chance to finish a finisher Saturday when the two fight at UFC Fight Night 201 , which takes place at the UFC Apex. “With all his wins coming by finishes in the first round, it’s beautiful,” Buckley told MMA Junkie at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “Of course, he’s a good fighter in the first round. We’ll see how the later rounds do
