Joaquin Buckley got himself back in the win column last weekend at UFC Fight Night 224, defeating Andre Fialho by knockout.
A victorious Buckley now has his sights set on Kill Cliff FC and their roster of welterweight fighters.
“Who I really want, I want a team of guys,” Buckley said on the “Believe You Me” podcast (transcript via Farah Hannoun of MMA Junkie). “So, I don’t want to just pick individuals, individuals, individuals. I want to pick a team and, like Dominick Cruz, build my motherf*cking name off of that team. I’m calling out the right team because they’re dangerous, they’re lethal.
“So, me calling them out, I’m dead-ass about it, but y’all got to see I really want the potential to build my experiences with these guys. I think they got holes in their game, but I know they’re good too, though, because the guys from this team could potentially knock me out, embarrass me, talk sh*t, but I don’t care about that. I’ve been there before.”
Besides Fialho, Buckley has also defeated another Kill Cliff FC fighter in Impa Kasanganay in October of 2020.
Buckley also has some specific members of the fight team that he wants to fight in the Octagon.
“Vicente Luque, Ian Garry, Shavkat Rakhmonov, Kevin Lee now, and then Gilbert Burns on top,” Buckley said. “I want all those guys. It’s not some disrespectful sh*t. It’s just business. Plus, they got all the 170 motherf*ckers. These are the dudes that are supposed to be the scary boogeymen.
“Definitely Ian Garry and Shavkat. They’re undefeated. They never tasted defeat before. If y’all so confident in y’all abilities, I should be easy work. Plus, I’m a good name too. I’m the dude with the craziest highlight knockout. That’s good money.”
