During UFC on ESPN 56, Dana White commended Joaquin Buckley’s performance in his fight against Nursulton Ruziboev. White was particularly impressed by Buckley’s swift return to the octagon following his win over Vicente Luque. He applauded Buckley for facing Ruziboev in St. Louis, the latter’s hometown, and delivering a stellar performance. Buckley’s decisive call for the fight and subsequent triumph have elevated his reputation, with White suggesting that he is poised to become a standout personality in the MMA sphere.
However, White brushed off Buckley’s post-fight challenge to Conor McGregor, stating that he has no interest in arranging that bout. Buckley is currently enjoying a winning streak of four fights in the welterweight division and has set his sights on a potential matchup with Gilbert Burns next.
