“Like a Titanic moment…” that was pretty good. Rooting for you Buckley.
Protect those eyes.
Big facts
Been watching Buckley and rooting for him for a while now. Can't wait for the W and to get the shine he deserves.
he has definitely been killing it since he moved down 🔥🔥
Joubain great commentator
170 got my boy lookin like a smoker
I was wondering why he looked different LOL
@@ER1CxF It's not just his weight cut in exercising. He looks like he changed his entire diet which isn't eating a lot of carbs and meat. I wouldn't be surprised if he went Vegan because he looks so depleted like Overeem.
@@rithreanhe was a jacked 185er he needed to drop the muscle to make 170 He looked good vs luque for how long the fight was
@@camerondavies8442 Yeah I know who he is and he's annoying as F&ck. He was a heavy set endomorph fighting bigger guys while he was shorter at 185 and his movement was slow. He just had a lot of power but doesn't know how to execute it well in his striking. Now he's dropped the weight and looks more mesomorph which isn't bad. But, he's 30 yrs old and just starting his prime. He won't be cutting weight for so long in that division because at that age he's going to feel it in his body as it's going to want to stack on the weight as he ages. He should have cut the weight earlier in his career when he was in his mid 20's.
Let's go Buckley St Louis represent
STL in the hizzy
@@lancertreepuffer You mean like Izzy? The Guy in The bar?
I know it’s Midwest but yall sound so southern at the same time
"This is like a Titanic moment." Hahahaha
Buckley let's go bro 💪
Buckley has a huge opportunity here let’s see what he does
Ur kidding right buckley taken a nap nursulton ruziboev a different animal
@@johno30197 you are very wise sir, you have seen the future like I have. Is it wrong to profit financially off of our visions?
It would be cool if he keeps winning and gets into the top 6 or 7, he fights often and would bring a fresh face into the title picture. But idk if he is that good yet and this unranked dude he is fighting is a killer, hopefully Buckley is focused.
Really important fight for Buckley hope he does well I can tell he’s hungry and ready
@Joeyestrada1 What huge opportunity is it if Buckley beats Nursulton Ruziboev? He's not even ranked. Luque was a bigger win.
Not gonna lie I feel like Buckley has been letting his personality show a lot more. Hope he wins.
“Buckleys”, taste bad but it works..”🤷♂️😄
Nursultan passes by without noticing Buckley.
Lol
Win this for the short kings Buck
Buckley looked really good his last fight great foot work so the same this fight
Looks like Buckley don't give a F-uckley 😄
Anyone know the song name he walked out to?
Nursulton has a huge opportunity, if he loses to Buckley he will never get a title shot. Buckley is really in the same spot win or lose
I would still love to watch Kevin holland and Buckley run it back now at 170
buckley needs a spectacular finish to get some hype behind him again
Rooting for him
I like Buckley. He seems like a real genuine human being.
Buckley is just a dude to always root for. I hope he wins
Future champ right there
Let’s go Buckley, hope he gets the W out here in the Lou
bros voice kept crackin🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let’s get it, Buck. 💯
corporate Buckley all interview then the hood came out 5:20 🤣NEWMANSA nation lets go!
The hood ya know.. Self hate in America is real.
@@ClaimerUncutare you mad baby?
Thought this was TO at first look. lol
Really hope Buckely gets the w 😊
Bring it Buck! This is huge opportunity!
Let’s go Buckley! From one St.Louis boy to another let’s get this win!!
Yeah I like Buckley he good dude I’m rooting for him, but ruziboev got a lot of fights and experience over Buckley and he a smart good fighter it gonna be tough fight but if Buckley can pull it off he deserve big things next, let’s just hope nurselton had a bad weight cut and it affects his performance tommorow.
Missouri, even though a Midwest state ppl sound so southern
Buckley looking clean
I finally realized why he looked different
Pull the mic a bit away from Buckley's lips bro 😂
Letsgo Joaquin The Goat Goatley !!
I feel like he is gonna call out Usman... would be a real deal test for him
Ain’t no way that’s happening he is getting destroyed by Usman
I personally think Gilbert Burns would be a better match-up and would also be a revenge move for luque lost. But yea hes most likely calling out usman lol
burns or usman or ian garry
Let's go Buck!
I think I saw this ninja at a gas station asking for money a few years back, best of luck
Buckley looks like a black Royce Gracie in the thumbnail
🤣🤣🤣
@@WillT96 lol
Spot on lol
Tough fight for Buckley
Let’s go Buck
Prayer doesn’t do a dang thing, ain’t nobody listening.100% fact
Buckley has arrived.
He needs to read a book
He should have called out Belal or Colby, If he believed in what he reasoned to fight ranked fighters. You build up bro, you don't shoot straight.
Did Buckley do something to his face? I swear all fight and this interview my brain just keep telling me something is off about his face.
Buckley squandered them missed opportunity's after that brutal KO this fight aint gonna goes well for him...
Too bad Buckley is getting TKO'd. Cool guy tho
Been doing his thing and that's respectable Just stop being so cringey sometimes
Did not expect Buckley to beat Luque the way he did. You gota respect his energy
vicente came for a check, buckley was losing. ever since that brain bleed, vicente was already out the door
@thrill_hill Beat him the way that he did? You mean with Luque quitting? What are you talking about? You act like it was impressive when it wasn't. 😂
@@ApexPunisherX he's fresh enough to bounce back in 6 weeks so ?
@@draco2xx Facts cus Luque is better then that, or so i thought
@@thrill_hill So... that doesn't change the fact that Luque quit does it? Who cares about the quick turnaround when he didn't put up much of a fight? You act like it was some impressive performance by Buckley when it wasn't.
Buck finna call out Conor McGregor
HE GOING TO CALL OUT IAN GARY THEN IAN IS GOING TO TURN HIM DOWN BECAUSE WANTS TO FIGHT HIGHER RANKED GUYS
Why does he look so different?
No moustache
He look like Denzel Washington in the thumbnail
I like bucks but ruziboev will beat him
Buckley is average af “big change”😂
😡
Bro’s practically kissing the mic foam cover 🤮 does he not realize how dirty those things are

Why do Americans say axe instead of ask lol
It's called an accent
African Americans.
@@Jackson558 That's not an accent lmao, it's just mispronounciation
@@AlxThSeal you should fly to America and ask him
They don’t, it’s just a thing in the African American community.
