Joaquin
Buckley is disappointed with
Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White for forgetting
his name.
Buckley has recently been calling out Terence
Crawford for a street fight. When asked about the idea, White
started with, “Crawford and who?” White found the idea dumb that
Crawford, who retired with $55 million for his last win over Canelo
Alvarez, would fight Buckley in a street fight.
Buckley called out White for forgetting his name to begin with.
“New Mansa” reminded White that his flying spinning back kick
knockout win over Impa
Kasanganay in 2020 still remains one of the most viral
knockouts in UFC history. Buckley challenged the UFC head honcho to
put him in a boxing match against Callum Walsh, WBC welterweight
champ and Zuffa boxing’s star recruit.
“Dang, Dana. You done forgot who I was? You done forgot the dude
with Knockout of the Year 2020? One of the most viral knockouts in
the UFC… One of your most viral fighters?… It ain’t nothing
personal, bro — but if you don’t think MMA fighters have a place in
Zuffa Boxing, I really believe you’re mistaken… If you don’t
believe me, get your boy Callum Walsh in the Apex with me… and I’ll
show you how it get down in the boxing ring,” Buckley said on
Instagram.
Buckley (21-7) hasn’t fought since a unanimous decision loss
against Kamaru
Usman in June 2025 that snapped a six-fight winning streak.
