Joaquin Buckley, a ranked UFC welterweight, challenged Shavkat Rakhmonov.
“Shavkat Rakhmonov, you said you want to return in early February? Then come to your buddy Buck. Because you always chirp: 'Buck is easy work. He's easy pickings.' Then show it to the world, because no one has seen you for a long time, brother. We are waiting for you. I think this is a great fight for me and Shavkat. And after I knock out Shavkat, I'll be the next for a title fight.”
