UFC welterweight contender Joaquin Buckley has challenged Khamzat Chimaev for his next fight.
As we know, Joaquin Buckley is quite an outspoken man in the world of mixed martial arts. He often has a lot to say in interviews or on social media, or maybe even during his fights. However, in his most recent outing, he came up short in his attempt to defeat Kamaru Usman, snapping his impressive six-fight win streak.
Unfortunately, Joaquin Buckley is a resilient man, and at 31 years old, it feels like he still has a lot of gas left in the tank. The same can be said for Khamzat Chimaev, who is currently the UFC middleweight champion after dethroning Dricus du Plessis earlier this year.
In a recent one Instagram videoJoaquin Buckley gave Khamzat Chimaev quite an interesting challenge.
Joaquin Buckley challenges Khamzat Chimaev
“Man, all that hitting you’re doing out there, just shooting in the first five seconds of the fight is crazy work. So look, Khamzat, this is what I’m going to do for you: If you can stay on your feet for one round, just on your feet, and don’t use your wrestling, I’ll give you $50,000. Oh, you heard me right, $50,000. And in your country, rubles, what’s that about, 3 million? So you guys know this is good money is for all of you.
“And guess what, Nassourdine, if you can match that, that means it’s $100,000. So, Khamzat, take that money, or still show that you’re a punk by using that wrestling thing in the first five seconds.
“Actually, I’m at the ATM right now, let me go ahead and get some money. Actually, I’ve yet to get a fight, but if I get one, I’ll keep going.”
