Joaquin Buckley talks career revitalization, Conor McGregor call-out and setting beef with DC

Joaquin Buckley fights Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson on the final preliminary bout on ESPN at UFC 307 on Saturday in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Buckley has won four in a row and seven of his last nine and, at No. 11, likely will move into the Top 10 with a win over Thompson. We discuss the difference in opponents when one gets to the Top 10 and we get into where Buckley believes he's headed.
He explains why he called out Conor McGregor following his victory over Nursulton Ruziboev in St. Louis that received so much criticism. He also gets into his feud with UFC broadcaster Daniel Cormier that occurred after that call-out. It's important to note that they squashed their beef on Wednesday, about 18 hours after this video was recorded.

My pick, too. If anyone wants to take a gander, I am trying to bring some new looks to the MMA YT space with a bit of comedy.

Buckley looks like a character from a meat crayon cartoon.

[@WingwingHello]

Meat canyon lol

[@frankiecal3186]

Joaquin Buckley looks like he's got rubber bands pulling on the side of his mouth and ears.

[@dlsa.podcast]

Am I delusional for thinking Joaquin will be champ one day ? 😢

[@CantEditDaTruth]

nah. he’s the goods

[@carson21211]

Delusional is not quite severe enough. Can't call you what you are. KZbin will delete the comment.

[@Jemreaux]

Rooting for this brother s/o to Kevin for being unbiased lol

[@wrongtrousers]

@themmaholes WONDERFUL WONDERFUL !!! LFG CHAMP !!!

[@waynzignordics]

If you're gonna make such a silly call-out as Conor, you've got to be ready to hear some groans. Juaquin didn't take the negative feedback well.

[@Jemreaux]

He did exactly what he was supposed to do he can do what he wants it’s his career

[@waynzignordics]

​@@Jemreaux Sure, but then don't cry when people laugh at you for doing it.

[@Jemreaux]

@@waynzignordics he can literally respond however he wants - nothing you’re going to do about it but whine in the KZbin comments

[@waynzignordics]

​@@Jemreaux That's literally what he's doing: Whining about KZbin and social media comments, genius. You sound like someone that doesn't understand what consequences are.

[@MartinaDowney-ql9rz]

Buckley I m Buckley too living near c mcgregor

[@MillionaireclubFilmEntertainme]

Nick Cannon

[@CriticalEyeMMA]

The guy that was promoted by corporate media for talking mad shit against White people, but was banned when he criticised the tribe, had to make a public apology? lol…

[@TheLaird123]

Totally took alike even talk alike. Maybe Nick's daddy met Buckley's mummy some years ago

[@carson21211]

No.

[@lockethomas7165]

The typical Joaquin fan will be slightly damaged internally quite likely grew up with out a mum or dad.

[@gavinn1275]
