Buckley Calls Out Dana White for Forgetting His Name

Joaquin Buckley has publicly responded to UFC President Dana White, who seemingly forgot Buckley's name during a recent press conference. The incident, which quickly circulated online, saw White discussing a situation involving Buckley when he appeared unable to recall the welterweight's name. Buckley addressed the moment directly through a video, questioning White's memory regarding his widely recognized Knockout of the Year.

Beyond the personal slight, Buckley also commented on the broader discussion of MMA fighters competing under the Zuffa Boxing banner. He expressed his belief that MMA athletes have a place in boxing and issued a direct challenge to Callum Walsh, a boxer affiliated with White's promotion, inviting him to compete in the Apex facility.

This exchange has intensified the ongoing conversation about crossovers between MMA and boxing. Buckley's response underscores his desire for both acknowledgment and the opportunity to prove his skills in a boxing match.
