UFC middleweight striker, Joaquin Buckley has revealed the reasoning regarding his decision to host Detriot Urban Survival Training self-defense instructor, Dale Brown in his corner at UFC Vegas 48 last weekend, claiming that the practitioner’s techniques are also well advised.

Buckley, who opened the UFC Apex facility’s main card, managed to narrowly survive a late rally against Abdul Razak Alhassan to score a close split decision victory against the Ghana-born knockout kingpin.

The victory came as Buckley’s second consecutively, following a third round knockout win against Antonio Arroyo last year – which returned him to the winner’s enclosure.

However, Buckley hit the headlines during fight week ahead of UFC Vegas 48, with reports detailing how the aforenoted self-defense instructor, Brown would be cornering him for his fight with Alhassan. 

Speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Joaquin Buckley revealed his reasoning for starring Brown in his corner, intending to capitalize on Brown’s recent viral success.

“We just started brainstorming, what if I put this man (Dale Brown) in my corner?” Joaquin Buckley said. “What type of impact would that make? After that, history was made on Feb. 19. When everything started blowing up the way that it did, I reached out to him and was like, ‘Hey, would you be cool being in my corner?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, I think we’ll pretty much blow up the internet.’ which we did. It went crazy.”

“He was down from the get-go,” Joaquin Buckley said. “Shout out to Dale Brown. He’s a cool dude, he gets a lot of negativity about the things that he’s doing but he’s legit in the self-defense and security game (for) 26 years. He was a military paratrooper, he knows what he’s talking about. He’s been in the game for a minute.”

Following his close decision victory over Alhassan, Buckley maintained that he was now only interested in securing his next bout – against an opponent with equal or more followers than him across social media.

Self-defense trainer, Dale Brown, who heads up D.U.S.T (Detriot Urban Survival Training) is reportedly set to corner upcoming UFC Vegas 48 feature, Joaquin Buckley this weekend for his middleweight clash with knockout artist, Abdul Razak Alhassan. TMZ were first to report Brown’s presence in Buckley’s corner for UFC Vegas 48.

Dale Brown, who has seen numerous self-defense videos starring him go viral across social media over the last year, also taught Buckley some techniques during the latter’s visit to the facility. 

During his visit, Buckley was disarmed on numerous occasions whilst utilizing various firearms, and was also taken down from a leg grab from Dale Brown – in a very similar situation to his 2020 Knockout of the Year stoppage over Impa Kasanganay.

Joaquin Buckley has scored 10 knockout wins from a total 13 career victories

Returning this weekend at UFC Vegas 48, Buckley is set to meet with the aforenoted knockout finisher, Alhassan in a main card opener at the middleweight limit.

Buckley, a native of St. Louis returned to the winner’s enclosure back in September, earning a Performance of the Night bonus with an eventual third round strikes stoppage victory against Antonio Arroyo.

Snapping a disappointing three-fight losing skid in his most recent outing, Alhassan, who holds a 100 per cent knockout win rate from his 11 professional victories, finished common-opponent, Alessio Di Chirico with a jaw-dropping high kick in just 17 seconds back in August – also earning him a Performance of the Night bonus to boot. 

While Dale Brown received props from Buckley for his techniques and ability to attempt to increase survivability, the self-defense trainer’s method’s have been wholly criticized across social media, with many questioning the effectiveness of some particular methods and teachings. 

UFC Vegas 48 takes place from the UFC Apex facility with a light heavyweight clash between Johnny Walker, and Jamahal Hill booked to headline. Original headliners; former lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev saw their main event bout cancelled last week, with the pairing moved to UFC 272 on March 5.

UFC middleweight contender, Joaquin Buckley recently shared footage of himself training alongside, Dale Brown from the Detroit Urban Survival YouTube channel, who is responsible for numerous viral videos in recent weeks, on how to defend yourself from armed combatants. 

Buckley, who was slated to meet with fellow knockout artist, Abdul Razak Alhassan at UFC Vegas 46 this weekend, saw the bout fall to the wayside after the latter was forced from proceedings for reasons currently undisclosed. The bout is, however, expected to now take place at a UFC Fight Night event on February 28. instead. 

Joaquin Buckley holds 10 professional knockout victories across his 17 fight career

The St. Louis native returned to the winner’s enclosure back in September at UFC Vegas 37, stopping Antonio Arroyo with a massive third round knockout. The victory earned Buckley a Performance of the Night bonus. 

Posting a near-six minute video on his social media, Buckley, who appeared quite sceptical about the aforenoted, Brown’s ability as a self-defense instructor, was informed of the three main principles thought at Detroit Urban Survival: Escaping, controlling, and lastly, immobilizing threat. 

Cook, from Detroit Urban Survival, then demonstrated on Buckley how a threat could be immobilized via a stomp to the assailant’s knee, an eye poke, or the crushing of his hyoid in his neck. 

Equipping Buckley with a knife, Cook encouraged the 27-year-old stab him, before eventually disarming Buckley. Demonstrating a hip toss, Buckley, who was taken down onto protective floor mats, remarked, “it ain’t no joke”.

Armed with a handgun, Buckley was once more disarmed as Cook then reversed and pointed the gun at him – leading Buckley to wince in pain as his finger remained in the trigger guard, before jokingly asking Cook, “you want me to pay your bills?”

Buckley then finds himself in a similar position to his infamous Knockout of the Year of Impa Kasangany in July 2020, where he scored a breathtaking spinning back kick knockout, but rather than execute the kick once more in a similar position, Buckley appeared to be immobilized once again. 

Rising to notoriety in recent months, Cook, who heads up Detroit Urban Survival had his fair share of critics who question both his approach, and the actual survivability and real-world application of the manoeuvres he is charging his students to learn.

Joaquin Buckley and Abdul Razak Alhassan, two heavy-hitting middleweights are set to meet at the UFC event being held on Jan. 15.

A clash of knockout specialists is on tap for a UFC event this winter. Joaquin Buckley will look to continue his streak of KO wins as he takes on Abdul Razak Alhassan. Neither of these two men are currently ranked in the UFC middleweight division, but that could change if they show the KO skills they are both known for. News of the fight was confirmed by multiple sources, but originally by MMA Ideas.

Not much is known about this event as of yet, but it will most likely be held in Las Vegas at the UFC APEX. Interestingly this is the 200th Fight Night event in the UFC. The event will reportedly be headlined by a featherweight bout featuring Calvin Kattar and Giga Chikadze.

Buckley will be coming into this fight having won his last outing against Antônio Arroyo via KO. Buckley burst into the limelight with his spectacular spinning back kick KO of Impa Kasanganay. Since then he has racked up three performance of the night bonuses and is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the middleweight division.

Alhassan has had some fame himself. His last head kick KO win over Alessio Di Chirico was featured on Sportscenter and earned him a fight bonus as well. Prior to that, however, Alhassan had dropped three in a row. He also had some trouble cutting weight in the past and of his three losses in the UFC, he missed weight for two. Since making the jump to middleweight, Alhassan is now 1-1 and looking to make a run of it in this new division.

Do you think we will see another highlight KO finish from either of these two men on Jan. 15?
