Joaquin Buckley is determined to leapfrog Islam Makhachev in the title contention line if he defeats Kamaru Usman at UFC Atlanta. Despite Makhachev's recent move to welterweight following Belal Muhammad's title loss, Buckley insists that Makhachev will not pose a threat. He argues that Makhachev will likely avoid him due to the difficult matchup and his own finishing skills. Buckley, currently on a six-fight winning streak, believes that if he wins, there should be no debate about his title shot despite Makhachev's intentions.
"Once I beat Kamaru Usman, there's no debate, there's no argument, we up next... The JDM vs Islam fight is not a massive fight to make."
"I truly believe that Islam just gotta sit back and wait for me to get my title. Because I will be the hardest fight that Islam has."
