“Nah frl that’s a banger” – Fans react as Terrance McKinney plays matchmaker for Joaquin Buckley

On social media, Terrance McKinney stepped into the role of matchmaker for Joaquin Buckley by proposing a possible opponent for ‘New Mansa’.

Last weekend at UFC Atlantic City, Buckley delivered a remarkable finish against Vicente Luque in the co-main event. With unwavering aggression, he pushed forward, causing his opponent to resort to pulling guard.

Despite Luque’s strategic move, it ultimately worked against him as Buckley was able to take advantage and deliver a relentless assault of ground-and-pound strikes. The fight was ultimately stopped by the referee at the 3:17 mark of the second round.

Buckley’s current win solidified his winning streak in the welterweight division, earning him a spot at No. 11 in the rankings. This has sparked excitement among fight fans as they eagerly anticipate his future matchups.

McKinney suggested a 170-pound fight between ‘New Mansa’ and Bryan Battle to X.

“Battle vs. Buckley the fight to make.”

“Nah for real that’s a banger.”

“That would be a banger but it’s honestly hustling backwards for Buckley.”

The bout between Battle and Ange Loosa at UFC Vegas 88 last month was declared a no-contest after an accidental eye poke rendered ‘The Last Ninja’ unable to continue.

In 2023, ‘The Butcher’ continued to impress with back-to-back victories over AJ Fletcher and Gabe Green. However, his seven-fight winning streak came to an end in December 2022 when he faced Rinat Fakhretdinov, resulting in his first loss under the UFC banner.

Joaquin Buckley claims Vicente Luque gave up during UFC Atlantic City bout

Despite the scheduled bout not yet taking place, Joaquin Buckley remains certain that he had already emerged victorious over Vicente Luque.

During his recent appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, ‘New Mansa’ declared that he was fated to emerge victorious even before the first punch was thrown at UFC Atlantic City.

“I feel like Vicente just quit in there — point blank, period. He quit. He didn’t want to be in there in the first place. Before the fight started, he didn’t want to be in there. When you’re a fighter, you can just sense those things. It’s hard to explain. You’ve got to get in there and find out. I knew it the moment I saw him. The moment I saw him at weigh-ins, I knew it.”
