Joaquin
Buckley is targeting new fighters in his latest rant.
Buckley’s (21-9) recent tirade began with Josh Hokit
and Dustin
Poirier over their use of the N-word. The
Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight then turned his
attention to Sean
Strickland, whom he confronted in person for using the racial
slur. “New Mansa” has now added Alexander
Volkov and Max
Holloway to his target list.

Buckley called out Volkov and Holloway in a recent social media
post. While Holloway allegedly used the word casually, Volkov
recently made a video saying it with his teammates. Buckley claims
he will stop ranting if any of these fighters can go to an
all-black club and say the word from the DJ booth.
“Hokit, Sean Strickland, Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier, Alexander
Volkov, all of them boys having a field day, having fun with this
word,” Buckley said on Instagram. “I won’t bring up the race card
no more if they’re able to go to an all-black club, get in the DJ
booth with no security, and shout out, ‘What’s up my n*gga?’ I’ll
shut the f*ck up. If enough black people don’t give a f*ck no more,
I won’t give a f*ck.”
Responding to Buckley, Strickland bets he will never say the N-word
in a club.
“I bet you won’t go to the club and say N,” Strickland commented.
“I bet you won’t go to the IRS and show them your tax returns…
What’s a black Karen? This man has channeled it.”
Meanwhile, Volkov just mocked Buckley, questioning why he should go
to an all-black club in the first place.
“No judgment, with all respect for all nations. But why should I go
to an all-black club?” Volkov wrote. “Can anyone explain… Is it
more fun there?”
