JOAQUIN BUCKLEY GOES OFF ON CHAEL SONNEN, DANIEL CORMIER, & MICHAEL BISPING

Daniel Cormier and welterweight contender Joaquin Buckley. This friction ignited after Buckley scored a significant victory over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC St. Louis and then made a callout to Conor McGregor, a move swiftly deemed by Cormier as "the worst callout in history." #UFC #MMA

In response to Buckley's fiery retort, where he accused Cormier, Michael Bisping, and Chael Sonnen of distorting his words, Cormier didn't mince his words. He dismissed Buckley's retort, advising him to pay heed to criticism and not let a few wins inflate his ego, referring to Buckley's callout as lacking tact and substance.

Despite Buckley's defensive stance, he acknowledged the futility of his McGregor callout and redirected his attention to Gilbert Burns as a potential opponent.

As the verbal sparring continued, Cormier doubled down on his criticism, urging Buckley to be receptive to feedback and avoid invoking Audrey, Cormier's late mother, in their exchanges.

While Cormier's approach may appear confrontational, many UFC fans agreed with his assessment of Buckley's callout, branding it as one of the worst in the sport's history. Nonetheless, Cormier emphasized the importance of maintaining professionalism in interactions, especially in his role as an interviewer.

Buckley's decision to call out McGregor drew widespread condemnation beyond Cormier, Bisping, and Sonnen's remarks. Instead of pursuing a more suitable opponent in his weight class, Buckley opted for McGregor, who is already set to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June.

The fallout from this exchange leaves Buckley in an unfavorable light with key figures in the UFC, including fighters-turned-commentators like Cormier and Bisping. Despite the ongoing exchange, Buckley's next opponent remains uncertain, but if the banter continues, Cormier might be tempted to step out of retirement and face Buckley in the octagon.
