Joaquin Buckley Drags Conor McGregor & Son Into Trash-Talk as Dana White Shuts Down Callouts – “Long Line of McH*es”

The return of Conor McGregor has already gathered a lot of attention from the fans. But it seems he has already found a completely new opponent in Joaquin Buckley. The welterweight fighter put up a dominant show against Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC St. Louis. Buckley dominated his opponent and won the fight via a unanimous decision. However, what followed surprised most people, as he called out Conor McGregor.

Buckley shockingly said, “I researched the McGregor name and you come from a long, long line of McHo*s. Your dad was a b***h. Your grandfather was a p***y. Your great-great-grandfather was a p***y. So, I guess it’s safe to say that your mom was a p***y. And guess what? If you don’t answer, and I’ll bet the money I don’t even have that you won’t, everyone will know I’m telling the truth.”

Answering the claim of the bout between the two, UFC CEO Dana White completely shut off the call with a simple “No” in his post-fight press conference. Now the battle has taken a completely new turn after ‘New Mansa’ dragged McGregor’s son in his latest X post.

Joaquin Buckley drags McGregor’s son into the battle in his latest X post

Conor McGregor is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in the UFC, and it now seems that Joaquin Buckley wants a piece of him. It is interesting to see Buckley calling out McGregor because both fighters compete in completely distinct divisions. Although McGregor is making a comeback in the 170-pound division, he originally competed in the lightweight division. 

‘New Mansa ‘ has given a completely new dimension to the fight after his latest X post. He not only dragged the Dubliner but also involved his son in it as well. The message read, “No response from @TheNotoriousMMA thought my man would stand on business about the McGregor name but I guess that long long line of McH*es continues on. I hope McJr can end that hoe curse that runs in the McGregors name..”

There have been fighters in the past who have called out their opponents after their victories. But it seems the 170-pound fighter has taken it a bit further this time around. Do you feel Conor McGregor will respond to the claims this time around? It is to be seen!

The entire battle started with Buckley calling out Conor McGregor after his fight. Both fighters have never faced each other inside the Octagon and have no history between them. Therefore, calling out McGregor actually makes no sense for ‘New Mansa’. However, Buckley did call out one more fighter in his post fight interview which surprised many as well.

Joaquin Buckley has his eyes set on Gilbert Burns as well

Most fighters in the UFC want to face Conor McGregor once in their career. Now, with McGregor making a return, it seems there is an increase in his opponents. Most fighters are aware that the former dual-champion has only two fights left in his contract and they want to make the most out of it. After Buckley won his fight at UFC fight night, he surprised everyone with his call out in his post-fight press conference. However, he was quick to realize that he wont be getting to fight the Dubliner ever.

On being asked who he wants to face next, ‘New Mansa’ was quick to name Gilbert Burns. Burns is one of the toughest individuals in the welterweight division. However, according to Buckley the battle between Burns and him has the potential of becoming a “a beautiful fight”. Burns was last seen inside the Octagon at UFC 299 where he lost his battle against Jack Della Maddalena. Burns will be desperate to get back to winning ways and would like to challenge for the title again.
