"Buckley has recently been calling out Terence Crawford for a street fight. When asked about the idea, White started with, "Crawford and who?" White found the idea dumb that Crawford, who retired with $55 million for his last win over Canelo Alvarez, would fight Buckley in a street fight. Buckley called out White for forgetting his name to begin with. "New Mansa" reminded White that his flying spinning back kick knockout win over Impa Kasanganay in 2020 still remains one of the most viral knockouts in UFC history."
"Dang, Dana. You done forgot who I was? You done forgot the dude with Knockout of the Year 2020? One of the most viral knockouts in the UFC... One of your most viral fighters?... It ain't nothing personal, bro - but if you don't think MMA fighters have a place in Zuffa Boxing, I really believe you're mistaken... If you don't believe me, get your boy Callum Walsh in the Apex with me... and I'll show you how it get down in the boxing ring,"
Joaquin Buckley criticized UFC CEO Dana White after White appeared not to recognize him when asked about a proposed street fight with Terence Crawford. White reacted by asking, "Crawford and who?" and dismissed the matchup given Crawford retired after earning $55 million following his win over Canelo Alvarez. Buckley reminded White of his viral 2020 spinning back-kick knockout of Impa Kasanganay and questioned being overlooked. Buckley challenged Zuffa Boxing to book a boxing match against WBC welterweight Callum Walsh at the Apex to prove MMA fighters belong in Zuffa Boxing. Buckley has not fought since losing to Kamaru Usman in June 2025.
