Former M-1 Global middleweight champion, Bruno Silva has his third UFC victory since his debut just six months ago — stopping kickboxing talent, Jordan Wright with an early opening round knockout to open the preliminary card of UFC 269.

Silva, a native of Pairava, improved to 22-6 as a professional tonight courtesy of his triumph against Wright — adding the middleweight to a UFC winning run which includes prior knockout stoppages against both Andrew Sanchez, and compatriot, Wellington Turman.

Eventually clinching with Wright after the opening minute mark after taking a couple notable kicks, Silva clipped the former with a right hook on the exit of the clinch, before rushing forward and dropping the San Antonio native. Following a slew of subsequent ground strikes, Silva eventually forced Herb Dean to step in and halted the bout.

Buckley

Joaquin ‘New Mansa’ Buckley’s star continues to rise. Fresh from a highlight-reel spinning-back kick knockout win over Impa Kasangany earlier this year, the 26-year-old moves to 2-1 in the promotion with a second-round flattening of Jordan ‘The Beverley Hills Ninja’ Wright.

Heaped with pressure following his stunning, jumping, spinning back-kick KO of Kasanganay in October, middleweight powerhouse, Buckley continued to streak with a massive second-round stoppage of the dangerous Wright.

Hurting the Antoni Hardonk and Vladimir Matyushenko trainee before the opening-round buzzer, Wright returned to his stool in back knick, before dropping to a defeat in the early goings of the second round.

Pressuring Wright early, Buckely, who plys his trade at Finney’s HIT Squad, forced Wright back to the fence, before unloading with a massive left hook, right hand combination, with Wright slumping to the canvas.

Following the win, Buckley spoke with UFC colour-commentator, Joe Rogan, and elected against naming rival, ‘The’ James Krause, although called for a UFC 257 pairing with the veteran on January 23rd.
