Joaquin Buckley vs. Chris Curtis booked for UFC 282

Joaquin Buckley has his fourth fight of 2022 booked.

The UFC middleweight returns against Chris Curtis in the final UFC pay-per-view of the year – UFC 282. The card is set to go down on Dec. 10 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Curtis’ management announced the news on Saturday, and MMA Junkie independently confirmed the matchup with various sources.

Buckley (15-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Nassourdine Imavov earlier this month in the UFC’s first event ever in France. Prior to the defeat, Buckley was on a three-fight winning streak that included two stoppage victories that earned him Performance of the Night bonuses. Buckley is having a busy year having fought in February, June, September, and now booked to return in December.

Curtis (29-9 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is also coming off a defeat. He was last seen in action back in July when he lost in a unanimous decision to Jack Hermansson FC Fight Night 208 in London. It was a bout that he took on short notice, replacing an injured Darren Till. The defeat snapped an eight-fight winning streak for the 35-year-old.

With the addition, the UFC 282 lineup includes:

  • Robbie Lawler vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio
  • Dricus Du Plessis vs. Darren Till
  • Chris Daukaus vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik
  • Joaquin Buckley vs. Chris Curtis
  • Dalcha Lungiambula vs. Edmen Shahbazyan
  • Alexander Hernandez vs. Billy Quarantillo
  • TJ Brown vs. Erik Silva

Henry Cejudo: Bo Nickal needs to hold his horses, ‘maybe 10 fights away from possibly becoming UFC champion’

Henry Cejudo doesn’t think Bo Nickal is quite ready for the top after UFC 300. Nickal (6-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) remained unbeaten when he submitted Cody Brundage (10-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) in Round 2 of Saturday’s main card opener at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Nickal gave himself two...
