Joaquin Buckley is looking to celebrate the biggest win of his UFC career to date when he faces Colby Covington on Saturday.

Colby Covington and Joaquin Buckley will headline Saturday’s UFC Fight Night action as two ranked welterweight contenders seek to make moves in the division when they face off in Tampa, Florida. The Amelie Arena will host Tampa’s first UFC card since 2019 as former interim welterweight champion Covington goes in search of his first win since beating Jorge Masvidal in March 2022. ‘Chaos’ has fought just once since then when he came off as a distant second in his title contest against Leon Edwards, and Buckley presents a dangerous opponent as he rides high on the back of a five-win streak.

Almost exactly one year has passed since Covington, 36, last fought in the Octagon as he announces his return to the cage against a dangerous foe.

‘New Mansa’ has been one of the busiest fighters on the welterweight roster in recent years and is due for his fourth fight of 2024, not to mention his third knockout win of the calendar year.

Buckley, 30, has been on a tear since his knockout loss to Chris Curtis in December 2022, finishing three of his five opponents since then while maintaining a high volume of fights.

His more recent feat was becoming just the second fighter to knock out UFC legend Stephen Thompson as he won Performance of the Night at UFC 307 back in October:

Barely two months later and the St. Louis native is taking on another sizeable task in Covington, who has never suffered back-to-back defeats but could be on the verge of doing just that this weekend.

The main card kicks off in Tampa at 10 p.m. ET and features a number of similarly enticing bouts, including a co-main between Cub Swanson and Billy Quarantillo.

Flyweight Bruno Silva is also hoping to extend his win streak against Manel Kape, while a light heavyweight bout between Vito Petrino and Dustin Jacoby promises fireworks.
