Overview
- Brady and Buckley will meet Saturday at UFC 328 at the Prudential Center in Newark in a three-round main-card bout after the UFC moved it from a planned Fight Night headliner.
- Both fighters seek to rebound and climb back into contention after recent setbacks, with Buckley coming off a decision loss to Kamaru Usman and Brady coming off a TKO loss to Michael Morales.
- The style clash pits Brady’s takedowns and top control as a jiu-jitsu black belt against Buckley’s fast, explosive striking built around power and shifting angles.
- Buckley spent part of his camp at Kill Cliff FC with former champion Kamaru Usman and Vicente Luque to sharpen his wrestling and improve his grappling defense.
- FanDuel lists Brady as the betting favorite at -180 with Buckley at +140, while some previews predict a Buckley knockout based on his finishing power.
