Joaquin Buckley sets UFC records for knockouts and knockdowns in eight fights

Joaquin Buckley has achieved multiple UFC records in just eight fights, according to detailed statistical analysis. He reached seven knockout victories faster than anyone in UFC history, accomplishing this in eight fights compared to the previous record holders, heavyweights Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, who needed nine fights. Only 62 fighters out of 2,710 in UFC history (2.29%) have achieved seven knockouts total. Buckley also recorded 14 knockdowns faster than anyone in UFC history, doing so in just 17 incomplete rounds, giving him the highest average knockdown rate per 15 minutes of fight time. Additionally, he earned seven Performance of the Night bonuses in eight fights, nearly twice as fast as the average fighter who typically needs 15 fights for seven bonuses. The post notes he knocked out two former UFC champions who had never been knocked out before, and that one was finished with leg kicks while still in peak form.
