Joaquin Buckley is coming home.

Two weeks ago, the UFC Welterweight contender crashed the UFC 300 press conference to ask CEO Dana White about potentially fighting on UFC St. Louis on May 11th, seeing as though he’s from “The Lou” himself. Despite Buckley’s somewhat convincing campaign to replace heavyweight Derrick Lewis in the main event, White brushed him off and ended the presser there.
