Buckley forfeited seven inches in height, but managed his distance well with effective footwork and takedowns. Ruziboev didn't have an answer for Buckley's ground and pound, nor his pressure on the feet. 'New Mansa' almost finished his Uzbekistani foe on several occasions, ultimately winning by lopsided decision.Buckley called out Conor McGregor in his post-fight interview, "If you wanna be the king, you gotta behead the king to take the throne.

Buckley appeared to steal the first round with effective takedowns and ground and pound. Ruziboev spent most of his time waiting for Buckley to enter range to shoot down the pipe with punches and knees, which didn't pay dividends as the round continued. Round two was more of the same, with Buckley forcing the pace and landing the takedowns. 'New Mansa' might not have been landing the better strikes, but he was forcing Ruziboev to fight his fight.

It appeared to be 2-0 Buckley entering round three. Buckley hurt Ruziboev badly in the opening frame, but the Uzbekistani proved too dangerous to follow to the ground. Buckley achieved mount with three minutes to go in the round. He rained down offense and Ruziboev squirmed under the pressure.
