Background edit

Buckley was born and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri.[6] His father was never in the picture, so Buckley and his mother lived in his grandmother's house for the most part of his youth.[6] Buckley's mother passed away due to a heart condition when he was in the sixth grade.[6] He started wrestling at Marquette High School, growing interested in mixed martial arts, and eventually started training in it after graduating.[6][3]

Mixed martial arts career edit

Early career edit

The UFC tweet with the video was the most-liked (359,000), most-retweeted (143,000), and most-viewed (12.8 million) tweet in UFC history. The knockout became the UFC's most-watched Instagram video ever with over 17.8 million views. Across three tweets, three Instagram posts, four Facebook posts, and a TikTok video, the Buckley knockout video has generated more than 65 million views and 83 million impressions for the UFC.[13] Rapper Kanye West even used the footage of the knockout to promote the release of a new song.[14]
