Joaquin Buckley began his professional mixed martial arts journey in 2014, drawing on a foundation from his high school wrestling days in St. Louis. Before joining the UFC to compete as a welterweight, the American athlete gained experience with organizations like Bellator MMA and Legacy Fighting Alliance. Throughout his time in the octagon, he has become a frequent recipient of post-fight performance bonuses and achieved widespread fame for a notable spinning back kick finish. He trains with both Finney's MMA and Murcielago MMA.
Entering the event at UFC 329, Buckley holds a career professional record of 17-6-0. His five most recent outings include a unanimous decision victory over Alex Morono and a head kick stoppage against André Fialho. He also suffered setbacks against Chris Curtis and Nassourdine Imavov following his earlier technical knockout win over Albert Duraev.
