Looking to Rebound
Brady had a three-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing,
when he suffered a first-round technical knockout loss to Michael
Morales at UFC 322
this past November. Prior to that, the Philadelphia Fight Factory
representative had earned successive triumphs over Kelvin
Gastelum, Gilbert
Burns and Leon
Edwards. The former Cage Fury Fighting Championships title
holder is 7-2 during his UFC tenure overall.
Buckley, meanwhile, saw a six-fight promotional winning streak come
to an end at UFC
Atlanta, where he dropped a five-round verdict to ex-champ
Kamaru
Usman. “New Mansa” owns notable victories against the likes of
Colby
Covington, Stephen
Thompson, Impa
Kasanganay and Vicente
Luque over the course of his UFC career.
