Fighting in the UFC is just a means to do that, it's the ultimate challenge."I can't wait to get back home and keep working on that and then [UFC vice president of talent relations] Mick Maynard will get in touch and hopefully he'll have a bout for me in January."Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/video-joaquin-buckley-scored-the-greatest-ko-in-ufc-history-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A 26-year-old American is credited with the 'most unbelievable' KO in UFC history, after unleashing a jump spinning back kick</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/video-chris-daukaus-scores-45-second-ko-on-fight-island-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An American cop called Chris Daukaus remains unbeaten in the UFC after scoring a brutal 45-second knockout on Fight Island</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/overnight-ufc-sensation-joaquin-buckley-wants-to-stay-under-radar-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The American fighter who hit the 'most unbelievable' knockout in UFC history says he wants to stay under-the-radar</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/photo-joaquin-buckley-stuns-onlookers-with-most-unbelievable-ko-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One photo perfectly encapsulates how stunned people were when Joaquin Buckley scored the 'most unbelievable' KO in UFC history</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/conor-mcgregor-accepts-a-ufc-lightweight-bout-against-dustin-poirier-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor has accepted a UFC lightweight bout against Dustin Poirier providing it meets one condition</a>

Fighters are increasingly starting to grapple and submit opponents in elite match-ups, he noted."MMA is only going to keep growing in England," Breese told Business Insider ahead of his middleweight bout against the American 24-year-old Brendan Allen.Breese, an Englishman, fights this weekend in the USA. The UFC returns to London in mid-March, with Leon Edwards - a close friend of Breese's - headlining the show against the former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.Edwards' brother, Fabian Edwards, is expected to compete in the co-main event of a Bellator MMA show in London's SSE Arena in May.The UK is now becoming a cornerstone of top tier MMA."We're definitely a fighting nation," Breese said. "You only have to look at boxing. We've created great boxers over the years and I've no doubt we're going to do the same in mixed martial arts."Dan Hardy and Michael Bisping played their role. UFC as a whole … the growth … even since I started in the UFC [in 2015], it's just getting bigger and more popular.Getty ImagesMichael Bisping, one of the greatest British MMA fighters."In terms of the UK, there's more technical knowledge now, which is why fighters are doing better and having a lot of success in the Octagon."The sport of jiu jitsu in the UK is taking off. We are usually thought of as strikers but the grappling level is there. We've just got to make the most of it."Regarding his weekend opponent, Breese hopes victory over Allen will provide more opportunities in the UFC this year. He hopes to stay active throughout 2020."I've had a look at him. He's well-rounded, as to be expected in the UFC - you're not going to fight a mug in the UFC. It's a good challenge as always."I'm ready for wherever the fight goes. MMA is a game of situations and I'm looking to win every situation in the fight. The fight could end up anywhere, I'm just taking it as it comes. I'm well prepared."I've got 13 years of training and experience and I don't look at it as a training camp anymore, I look at it as 13 years of mixed martial arts. It never stops. There's no training camp. Just consistent training. I believe in my skillset and getting the job done."People are closed minded looking at training camps which is short term intensity. Bruce Lee said: 'Long term consistency trumps short term intensity.' I'm a believer in that. Stay consistent and value learning above all else."It's all about the journey. Get the win here, stay active, and take opportunities that come my way."Read more:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/khabib-nurmagomedovs-cousin-umar-signed-by-the-ufc-2020-2?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khabib Nurmagomedov's 24-year-old cousin Umar, another unbeaten Sambo expert, has been signed by the UFC</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-will-conor-mcgregor-fight-next-2020-2?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nate Diaz and Justin Gaethje are the 2 frontrunners to fight Conor McGregor in the summer</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conor-mcgregor-would-get-knocked-out-quick-by-manny-pacquiao-2020-2?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor would get 'knocked out pretty quick' by Manny Pacquiao, the boxer's former promoter says</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/leonard-ellerbe-is-scouting-us-olympians-for-floyd-mayweather-talents-2020-2?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The CEO of Mayweather Promotions is scouting boxers on the US Olympic team to try and find the next Floyd Mayweather</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mikey-garcia-2020-2?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">After a brutal loss to one of the world's best boxers, former 4-weight world champion Mikey Garcia is returning to the ring with Manny Pacquiao in his sights</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/video-lays-bare-brutality-of-heavyweight-boxing-fury-wilder-stoppage-2020-2?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2 charts, 4 photos, and a 6-second video lay bare the brutality of heavyweight boxing, as Tyson Fury punished Deontay Wilder in 7 rounds</a> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fighting-nhl-hockey-violence-sports-code-referee-2017-2">Why fighting is allowed in pro hockey - and why the NHL has no plans to ban it</a></h3>

Still, with striking ingenuity and powerful accuracy, Buckley kicked Kasanganay unconscious.The beaten fighter lay stiff and defeated on the canvas while <a href="https://www.insider.com/photo-joaquin-buckley-stuns-onlookers-with-most-unbelievable-ko-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Octagonside onlookers were pictured open-mouthed with their arms above their head</a>.They couldn't believe what they had just seen.The UFC itself called Buckley's knockout <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-joaquin-buckley-scored-the-greatest-ko-in-ufc-history-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the "most unbelievable"</a> in its entire history.But the middleweight match, the fifth bout on a 13-fight card, was one of many sequences that deserve to be immortalized in a highlight-reel that we fondly look back on in the future.Buckley's second-round stoppage win preceded <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-chris-daukaus-scores-45-second-ko-on-fight-island-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a 45-second knockout from the Philadelphian police officer Chris Daukaus</a> and a brutal stoppage from the British athlete <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-tom-breese-scores-hammer-fist-ko-on-fight-island-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Breese, who floored his opponent with a jab, then hit his skull with hammer fists</a> until the referee waved the bout off for good.<div type="image" title="Tom Breese, watch UFC knockout here" height="750" width="1500" msid="78630041" hostid="261"></div>The three successive finishes meant the three final fights on the ESPN+ preliminary card were frenetic-paced and contained edge-of-your-seat action, which had to be seen to be believed.But the show was far from over. The main card had not yet even begun.<h2>Pandemic era UFC events have spoiled fight fans with good, old fashioned, bone-chilling fun</h2>With three fights finishing in under 10 minutes of competition, a decision was perhaps overdue. And for those looking for wrestling rather than striking, Ilia Topuria edged Youssef Zalal in a grapple-heavy bout.But then <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-tom-aspinall-battered-alan-baudot-in-95-seconds-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Aspinall, a relative newcomer to the UFC, took just 95 seconds to knockout Alan Baudot</a>. And rather than celebrate, he just looked moody and annoyed after the win. Aspinall later said it was because he felt like he had made a few mistakes during the fight, even though he was only ever hit five times according to official UFC data.Dricus du Plessis scored a memorable stoppage over Markus Perez, Marcin Tybura out-pointed Ben Rothwell, and Edson Barboza appears not far from a title shot as he decisioned Makwan Amirkhani in the penultimate bout of the evening.Then came the main event.And, again, there was another highlight-reel moment for the ages as Cory Sandhagen pulled off a masterclass, <a href="https://www.insider.com/cory-sandhagens-fight-island-win-was-a-ufc-masterclass-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scoring a spinning wheel kick before hitting his downed UFC opponent with punches</a>, forcing the referee to drag him off of Marlon Moraes' defeated body.Though the UFC was forced into a coronavirus-enforced hiatus earlier in the year, it feels like the quality of some of the fights, and the shows in general, are as good as they've ever been.The lack of a crowd has done little to evade the allure of seeing athletes try and beat the crap out of one another.Justin Gaethje produced his magnum opus in the UFC's first pandemic era event — <a href="https://www.insider.com/justin-gaethje-tortured-tony-ferguson-5-rounds-at-ufc-249-2020-5" target="_blank"

unquestionably, his toughest challenge.But after what he produced against Ferguson, combined with his collegiate wrestling background, Gaethje may turn out to be Nurmagomedov's toughest challenge,
