Joaquin Buckley continued to thrive since moving to welterweight when he beat perennial contender Vicente Luque in Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 54 co-main event.
Buckley (19-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) improved to 3-0 since he dropped to 170 pounds with a second-round TKO of victory over Luque (22-10-1 MMA, 15-6 UFC) at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

Luque just shot for a TD, Buckley stuffed, and Vicente pulled guard. Maybe not a great idea, Buckley is landing some decent GNP now! #UFCAtlanticCity
