The age-old American Stephen Thompson joined MMA in 2010. He came from the martial arts league, which was organized by the famous actor Chuck Norris. Like his idol, he is a technical drummer who moves quickly around the court. It is important that his jaw holds a punch well. During his sporting heyday, Thompson claimed the UFC championship twice, but both times unsuccessfully.
Joaquin Buckley could have been successful in boxing but preferred mixed martial arts fights to the ring. The basics of his fighting arsenal rest on a powerful hook. In MMA, Buckley learned to fight fairly well in the stalls.
The age difference between the fighters will be affecting all the fight. According to the results of the latest fights, it is clear that Thompson is experiencing a clear decline. Buckley, on the other hand, has picked up the pace and is building up a winning streak. It remains for him to go into battle with a good plan and alternate striking techniques with wrestling.
