Him vs burns makes the most sense

[@mimy1893]

Sure. But I rather see him fight MVP, Colby, Garry OR Randy brown if brown is victorious in his big upcoming fight at 302

[@draco2xx]

burns gonna show him it's levels to this😂

[@mimy1893]

@@draco2xx burns is gonna get chewed up and swallowed. Buckley former 185er too big for former 155er Gilbert burns. Burns has lost his prime and momentum. Haven’t done anything in recent memory except beat wonderboy few years ago and a moral victory vs khamzat. Buckley knocks him out just JDM knocked out burns a couple months ago

[@MrRobjs83]

Idk maybe, Burns been chinny lately. Geoff Neal I'm thinking might be a better fight

Lol comes inside no Diddy 😆 congrats on the w. GB is a tough but good fight

[@R-M-T]

7 mins for a post fight is disrespectful

[@bigben42]

More time for him to celebrate then

[@abudujana13]

Thank you very much, MMA JUNKIE

[@juangama2357]

anybody calling out connor makes an idiot of themselves including chandler. connor has been pass his prime since aldo is just fans that can let go which is why fighters call him out

[@PhilSophia-ox7ep]

But Chandler got the fight.....how is that dumb?

[@jedidiahnero9391]

........ Well, i'm happy he is getting more fights

[@tobydanger86]

2:07 definitely a no Diddy moment 😂😂

[@Dave-jl8bf]

Who the fok is that guy 😂

[@trope5105]

Pterson def had 3 fights tongiht that he def was reffing on different rules lol!!! maybe it was two, but i feel like it was 3! the hooper and buckly fights though could have def been stopped long before they were

[@Kiddlow2x]

and then the dumbass stopped the fight early lmao

[@j.r6656]

that sounded stupid calling out Connor was corny AF

[@Mindgamess]

he said he did it for clicks and so far its working.

[@440-fishermandrock8]

Conor mccoverrated not a single title defense 🤡

[@PhilSophia-ox7ep]

​@@MindgamessIt's a stupid callout. He wasted his mic time for something useless instead of potentially lining up a good fight for him next.

[@cosmicsea89]

It was a waste of microphone time, and he talked for long too

[@simonlee498]

Mentioning connors name is good business .. were all here talking about it

[@bubbabuttz1629]

Love the Gilbert Burns callout kinda

[@Hanashi_mma]

Happy for this guy. Well deserved!!

[@christopherbullock452]

Yea come inside was insane no diddy

[@toneonthebeat1895]

Burns vs Buckley will be a very fun fight. Looking forward to it.

Neal vs Buckley next

[@NeverRingTheBell]

Well done Buckley - great fight!

[@kuldog7704]

@kuldogg:fk yeah Buckley!! new fan here now he put the pressure on himself and backed it up against a more than solid opponent 🔥🔥💯💯

[@alec57]

More than solid? Dude had a total of 3 fights in the UFC and looked like complete trash...

[@RealMattKiefer]

Buck/Burns is a sick fight! Buck keeps bodying Henri Hoofts fighters

[@DevinReed-wv9co]

I've seen enough give him shavkat rakhmonov

[@domanisarapeggio]

Shiiit I would give him Colby

[@marcxdeluxee4803]

NEW MANSA!!!! TOP 5 INSIGHT!

[@Al_Straik]

People need to stop chasing Conor, move da fuck on.

[@emiliomartinez7406]

This guy is crazy

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

Nursulton had nothing for Joaquin in this fight as expected. Conor don't want none of Buckley. Buckley would put Conor in a world of hurt. Make the man retire and switch to acting permanently lol

[@dreadghoul23]

He didn't deserve that fight after that Dumas bs, sedrigues should get a rematch if he wins his next one. But even tho I wasn't a fan of nursulton because of that, I gained Respect in this fight, there was some heat in the beginning and made it interesting, he also fought until the end and showed respect after

[@XBlack-oc6xt]

I liked the Conor call out, not because that's a serious fight, but just to check him like why you always coming up to 170, you don't belong here... as always Gilbert will fight anyone

[@theironforce3000]

He was doing good in the match, all the way to the post fight interview giving a shout out to Grandma. Dude should have just stayed right there. Nope, had to ruin it all by a useless n lengthy call out to Connor that will lead to NOWHERE.

Buckley got WAAAAY ahead of himself with that callout. Cringe. But I'm happy he got the win---he needs to work on his mic skills.

[@StewieLokz3707]

his mic skills are decent, i’d say but yeah… that was a wack call out. Should’ve been a top 10 guy.

[@saturnstar718]

@@StewieLokz3707 True---his mic skills are decent. He needs to more work on his "media training"---knowing WHAT to say when on the mic.
