Dana White Lists Chimaev, Holland, And Buckley As The Top Three Fighters To Watch In 2021
Dec 31, 2020
Namely, we’ve got welterweight prospect, Khamzat ‘Borz’ Chimaev who’s blitzed his way through three opponents already despite making his promotional bow just five months ago on ‘Fight Island’.
Another name worth keeping an eye on is middleweight striker, Kevin ‘The Trailblazer’ Holland who set a promotional record this year, scoring five consecutive victories in a calendar year, becoming the first middleweight in UFC history to do so.
Scoring the consensus Knockout of the Year — Joaquin Buckley established a 3-1 record this in 2020, with his sole defeat coming against the aforenoted, Holland. Earning major plaudits, the 26-year-old stopped Impa Kasanganay with a highlight-reel spinning back-kick at UFC Fight Island 5 in October, in a stunning finish which earned him worldwide recognition.
