Dale Brown and Joaquin Buckley blew up the internet on Saturday when the two were present at UFC Vegas 48. Buckley was fighting against Abdul Razak Alhassan and he asked the Detroit Urban Survival Training star to be in his corner.
As Joaquin Buckley was making the walk to the cage, Dale Brown could be seen following behind with the coaches and holding a bucket. The fight at UFC Vegas 48 was taken very seriously by everyone involved.
“Amazing,” Brown told ClutchPoints about the experience at UFC Vegas 48. “And, you know, for Joaquin Buckley. He said it was a great experience as well, that people were cheering for him. He felt great about the fact that people were cheering for him. And I did too, I thought it was great. It was very, very positive. So all I can tell you is, if you haven't been there, definitely you want to go to see a UFC fight. It's an amazing experience. What Dana White has put together is an amazing, structured, professional, highly structured event. I've never seen something so structured in my life, anywhere in the world. UFC events from top to bottom are incredibly professional, all the people, the entire structure of the event. It's top-notch, there's nothing like it.”
Dale Brown was officially a coach at the UFC event and he needed to figure out what his role was in the corner. It was easy for him to figure out how to best work with Joaquin Buckley and his team.
“My training corresponds with any type of human performance. So it just helped them. As coaches, they're excellent. We work great together, and the coaches and I get along great. His standard coaches were awesome. They're truly professional. It was great working with them as well. So we were all together, all time. So it was a team effort. We were together for days. So we literally trained together, I got to see a lot of the sport aspects of training. It's amazing and up close and personal with a professional fighter. That's a unique experience for me, although I've been around pro fighters, they're usually learning my training, I'm not learning their trade. And so the pro fighters have come to my school in the past, throughout the past 26 years.
“They're coming into the school learning my tactics, I didn't have time to really go into learning theirs. So it's great to immerse myself into a pro fighter's experience, and their camp, be around their coaches, and also to be able to contribute my knowledge over the past 26 years that can help him, especially on the psychological side and some of the tactics. So we do have some tactics that are good for any sport, especially a sport fighting situation. Absolutely.”
The big storyline at UFC Vegas 48 was Dale Brown being in the corner of Joaquin Buckley and he proved to be a good cornerman as his fighter won by split-decision. It looks like Detroit Urban Survival Training is a good thing to have in your corner.
