Middleweight Joaquin Buckley can have his personal model of Sensei Seagal for UFC Vegas 48 battle when internet-famous Dale Brown corners him in opposition to Abdul Razak Alhassan.
The meme-friendly Detroit City Survival Coaching founder apparently made fairly the impression on Buckley throughout a current go to, and an individual near the fighter confirmed to MMA Preventing a TMZ report that Brown will likely be on the UFC APEX on Saturday to provide him some pointers.
Buckley’s journey to D.U.S.T. earlier this 12 months was a pure match given his viral celebrity standing for his knockout of Impa Kasanganay – and Brown’s for his weapon-disarming methods of questionable effectiveness.
Now, Brown will allegedly function a real-time advisor to the hand-to-hand fight professional, simply as actor Steven Seagal did for Anderson Silva so a few years in the past. Seagal, in fact, by no means acquired the possibility to formally nook the then-UFC middleweight champ, however didn’t hesitate to take credit score for the entrance kick that knocked out Vitor Belfort at UFC 126.
If weapons have been allowed within the octagon, Buckley would have the last word backup. However because it stands, he’ll work for his fourth UFC win in six tries on the ESPN+ televised card.
