When the UFC lands in Utah, it habitually brings zesty brawls to the mountains. The UFC 307 Pay-per-view from inside the Delta Center could be the same. This could be a different one after too much critical input about slow-running UFC 304 Manchester PPV timing and this Saturdayโs UFC 306. However, welterweight Joaquin Buckley has some issues with the lineup โ and it all centers around Aljamain Sterling.
Joaquin Buckley meets two-time welterweight title challenger Stephen Thompson at UFC 307. Buckley vs. the UFCโs Karate Kid could be a pure strike fest after some time. However, there was much uproar when it came to be that Aljamain Sterling would again be on the event prelims. After a blowback from MMA publications sites, the ESPN broadcast made him the third fight of the night. Buckley has some thoughts.
Yโall know I been quiet, โฆLook, that ainโt because Iโm worried about nothing. Iโm very excited for whatโs going to happen in my careerโฆ It seems like they [UFC] changed their mind and put me on the prelimsโฆI feel like this is the fight right here, this is the last one yโall get for free. You hear me?

โWonderboyโ never won UFC gold but defeated champions like Robert Whittaker and Johny Hendricks. He once dominated Rory MacDonald and Jorge Masvidal. โNew Mansaโ is also 4-0 since dropping down to welterweight. He last won at the UFC ย St. Louis co-main event at Enterprise Center. This matchup could be one for ages; the like of which Ian Garry vs. Michael Page was billed as.
According to ESPNโs homepage and UFC card order, Joaquin Buckley makes the walk at the late prelims, airing on ESPNews/ESPN+ Pay-per-view at 8:00 A.M. The spot where Aljo was first to be. However, that all could soon change as Sterling only recently announced that he is out of the event due to a training injury. ESPNโs homepage is yet to shuffle the order. Nevertheless, Buckley may be in luck.
Fight fans react to Joaquin Buckleyโs ultimatum
The Official lineup for the UFC 307 pay-per-view (PPV) event is in flux. Just like UFC 300 and UFC 303, where Alex Pereira was the calendar headliner earlier this year, UFC 307 is set to be another all-star showdown. However, Sterling vs. Movsar Evloev and โNew Mansaโ vs. Thompson are the only matchups that made sense.
Fans react to Joaquin Buckley (Source: X/msn.com)Aljamain Sterling was to be on the main card, streaming on Sunday/ 10:00 A.M. GMT+8. โFunk Masterโ was to face the No. 6-ranked featherweight but was soon down to his usual spot at the penultimate fight of late prelims. After some social media contrast, the former bantamweight kingpin again entered the main card.
Aljo, who was already contemplating a trip north of a division, has a lot of attention for his next bout. Now that he has announced his subsequent withdrawal, the order is still the same. Joaquin Buckley has already shown he is not afraid to call foul on what he thinks is folly. Hence, he had some choice words about this weekโs prelim shift. Here is what fans think of it.
All Joaquin Buckley fights will remain free, we can assure you.

Ngl itโs actually insane that wonder boy is in the prelims. So criminal. But itโs good for newer fans to see his style I guess.. if they watch the prelims.

Some fans have billed him as one of the most entertaining fighters on the current roster (other than the likes of Johnny Walker, Merab Dvalishvili, or Paulo Costa). Others have gibed his ultimatum saying whatever he does, fight streaming is going to be free anyway. Not that it is necessarily what โNew Mansaโ meant in essence. Others have also lauded him for his insight into the Thompson fight at UFC 307.
