Robert Whittaker worried Joaquin Buckley fights Mike Malott with no confidence

Buckley (21-8 MMA, 11-6 UFC) takes on streaking welterweight Malott (14-2-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in Saturday's UFC Fight Night 291 ( Paramount+ ) main event at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. After amassing a six-fight winning streak with standout finishes over Stephen Thompson and Colby Covington, Buckley was heavily outgrappled in decision losses to former champion Kamaru Usman and Sean Brady. Robert Whittaker wonders if Buckley's confidence has been impacted after going on a tear, then suffering back-to-back lopsided setbacks.
