UFC on ESPN 63 might’ve been the birth of title contention for one fighter and the end of it for another.
This past Saturday in Tampa, Fla., Joaquin Buckley defeated and stopped former UFC interim champion Colby Covington in the main event. The result pushed Buckley’s (21-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) impressive winning streak at welterweight to six, while also putting Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) on a two-fight losing streak and 1-3 in his past four trips to the octagon.
So, is it safe to say that Buckley is now championship material? Are Covington’s days as en elite welterweight over?
