Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman has reacted to Joaquin Buckley’s challenge after Buckley secured his fifth consecutive victory at UFC 307.
Take a number and get in line. I believe he’s probably, what, the 10th or 11th guy? I don’t know how many guys have called me out. It is what it is, it’s obviously like Daniel Cormier said, it’s a more reasonable callout for him. Because he is on a streak, and he’s been doing good work inside there. Hats off to him, he did a great job. If that’s the fight, then that’s the fight. If it’s not, it’s not.
“Obviously, right now I’m working on myself and trying to get myself back, because I fought injured for so long to where I achieved all the things that I achieved. But like I said, I ain’t going nowhere, I’m still here! And eventually I’m going to get in there and show the people that I am, once again, the king,” Usman stated.
Usman last fought in October 2023 at UFC 294, where he lost to Khamzat Chimaev by a majority decision. His professional record stands at 20 wins and four losses.
On October 6, at UFC 307, Buckley won by knockout against Stephen Thompson in the third round, bringing his record to 20 wins and six losses.
