Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Contemporary off his dominant win over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC St. Louis final weekend (Sat. Could 11, 2024), Joaquin Buckley might have discovered his subsequent dance companion. Initially, Buckley used his post-fight interview to name for a showdown versus Conor McGregor, however “New Mansa” fairly shortly realized that wasn’t going to occur. Appropriately, he modified his goal to former Welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns.
Buckley has known as to struggle “Durinho” beforehand, as he’s confronted a number of of Burns’ Kill Cliff FC group mates, like Vicente Luque. Although Burns is coming off a reasonably nasty knockout loss to Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 299 again in March, the Brazilian is down to leap again into motion and accepted Buckley’s callout on his Present Me The Cash podcast.
“Let’s do it,” Burns responded. “The way in which I see it, I’m not within the scenario to name anybody out or to select and select. I’m [ranked] quantity six proper now. I don’t know, in the event that they ship me [a contract], I’ll say sure now. I by no means say no to a struggle, and I’m not planning on begin doing.”
At 37 years of age, Burns has to get again within the win column prior to later if he’s going to work his method again to a second title shot. He’s misplaced two fights in a row, the aforementioned knockout loss to Maddalena and a call defeat to Belal Muhammad. Previous to these defeats, Burns had received two straight fights.
As for Buckley, the rising knockout artist has received 4 straight since dropping to 170 lbs. He’s searching for the most important win but of his profession, whereas Burns would have the chance to rebound towards a tricky opponent. If the timeline works for each, the bout is sensible.
