Joaquin Buckley Demands New Contract Before He Makes His UFC Return
Joaquin BuckleyJoaquin Buckley is itching to get back in the octagon so that he can return to winning ways. However, the 31-year-old has stated in a recent interview that he would place certain conditions before the UFC brass, before they book his next fight, if things don’t go his way.
The now No. 9-ranked 170-pounder’s surge was halted last year by former champion Kamaru Usman at UFC Atlanta. The 38-year-old used his wrestling to shut down Buckley’s striking prowess and dragged the latter to the mat. “New Mansa” found no way to get up and land a fight-ending blow to get his hand raised and lost by decision.
