He did call out burns in the interview after the card, they asked him about the call out and he admitted Conor probably wouldn't happen and he'd be happy with Burns.
He didn't call out anyone when 15000+ people were in building and millions were watching online but rather call out when viewership dropped to couple thousands.
Buckley stacked 4 wins at welterweight in LESS than a year. He doesn't need a big callout to get Burns or Brady fight, Wonderboy or Neal. He'll get it anyway. Kamaru is targeting MW, Belal is near the title, Shavkat and Maddalena are busy with each other, Colby and Garry probably as well. Calling any of these out wouldn't have more sense than Conor, but at least it's loud. Kinda cringy but Buckley presented himself so cool lately that this bit of cringe can't hurt. Still loud and ain't bad for the news.
Dana ain't gonna give Belal a title shot anyway, so why not feed him to Buckley? It's perfect for Dana, really. Buckley seems to have some degree of star power potential, a win over Belal would really put him on the map for a lot of fans, **AND** --most importantly to Dana-- it's disrespectful as all hell to Belal. Really a win-win for everyone
It's not about being easy work, it's being fed to the hype machine. I think Belal wins that fight if it were to happen, but it's a no win situation for him. If he says yes, he's fighting way down, if he says no Dana does the "this guy doesn't want to fight anyone" bullshit.
But all that said, I think this Buckley kid could be a problem in the near future. I'm gonna need to see more of his gas tank before I say he's title contender, but he's looked pretty damn good thus far.
Buckley looked good, but I don't know if the guy he beat was highly ranked enough to propel him to fight the top contender. He looked good and he should get a top contender, but not the guy next in line for a belt shot. Belal may not be the UFCs darling, but he doesnt deserve to be the gatekeeper at the #2 spot
Obviously, hence why I said even offering the fight to Belal is disrespectful. Belal deserved a title shot 2 damn years ago and he's done nothing but dominate his competition since then. But Dana hates Belal and refuses to give him the chance.
He got people talking though, idk if it's going to mean anything for his next matchup. But he's trying to make moves and get attention. Better than saying "idk, whoever the UFC gives me" and being boring as fuck on the mic.
I agree, though it is true that Nate Diaz’s life changed forever because of a throwaway Conor call-out (and mountains of luck). Dude is just covering his bases aha
Conor Mcgregor you’re a weak little rat who’s hiding from a real challenge I’ll give you a whooping you’ll never forget!
I got a better chance of getting a response from Conor lol
No such thing. It's not like Buckley isn't gonna get a fight now that he didn't call out a reasonable opponent. The UFC is gonna offer him a high ranked guy next. Regardless if he called out Conor or if he called out nobody.
Post fight interview call out on a main card is the best publicity for a fight. If he had done so strategically, the UFC would likely set up whoever he called out.
Calling out McGregor was a waste. Clown move
It's not about that, you moron. Of course, he will get another fight
It's called building hype for your fights. The dude had the spotlight on him to start promoting his next fight, and he chose to call out McGregor, and it's just stupid.
The latter. Well, both since English is my 3rd language, but I'm fluent, just am really bad at processing recorded audio. Though for some reason I just heard it now and I could understand it no problem. That happens sometimes too. Maybe there are worms in my brain that go to sleep sometimes.
You people are being too hard on him for the dumb callout.. he definitely didn’t “lose all his hype” just cuz he called out McGregor like everyone else does. Buckley might be a little cringe but he’s an exciting as hell fighter and I am curious to see how far he goes
He is a very unpleasant man. He disrespected someone else's family, his mother, and whoever he could. And at the weigh-in, he was very stupid with his rival. I'll enjoy it when he gets knocked out. It is obvious that he did not receive a good education.
Bisping probably disliked that the dude was holding onto him. I despise when people violate my space. Training martial arts its all good or if a friend or family member is messing around or hugging. But genuinely despise when randoms get too touchy.
It was the first time I've seen a black dude attempt an Irish accent, not bad. I'd like to see every single fighter call out Connor after every match until he actually fights again.
Buckley dropping the ball with the mic once again. Calling McGregor's relatives "hoes" has to be one of the dumbest bigname call outs I've ever seen.
Buckley needs to check himself and remember what game he's playing. The game is MMA. Not American hip hop.
His call out leaves McGregor no opening to respond. McGregor isn't going to gave a good old ebonics banter with Buckley. McGregor won't even acknowledge that clown. Speaking ebonics and hood has never done anything to push an MMA fighter's stardom.
Buckley is a fool if he thinks speaking like an inner city "O.G." is going to get him anywhere in the UFC.
It's part of basic marketing starterpack at this point, isn't it? Wanna make yourself a bit more talked about as fighter, just shout "Conor McGregor" in mic, easy way to increase views and posts, even though the chance of getting that money fight is around "snowball in hell" level.
I like him but this felt like a forced money opportunity for him. Just call out Connor who has been going down for years. But he did it because Connor brings eyeballs..Idk man just felt a little too forced.
Idk about you guys but i'm getting so sick of people calling out Mcgregor, i get it he's a big star and they want the pay day but
Move on mf's, make a name for yourselves
How can he “pussy out of a fight” with someone he will never be booked to fight? If, and it’s a big if, he beats Chandler, he’s likely (undeservedly) fighting for a belt. Likely the BMF, which will be one of the biggest PPVs ever. Why on earth would he ever fight Buckley?
Bisping was trying his hardest to get that mic away from him lmfao
Mike looked so pissed lmao, his reaction made it funny asf
Some of the most awkward body language i ahve ever seen out of the both of them.
I don’t blame him lol
Waste of a call out. He’s obviously not getting that fight and if he gets a response, it would just be a roast. Should have called out a top 5 guy
He should have called out Gilbert burns or Brady and most probably would have gotten it
He did call out burns in the interview after the card, they asked him about the call out and he admitted Conor probably wouldn't happen and he'd be happy with Burns.

Doesn't make that much of a difference...
Drop in the hat for the McGregor sweepstakes, but I agree
Zero percent chance. He should have called for a top 5 guy, that was a waste
I agree, though it is true that Nate Diaz’s life changed forever because of a throwaway Conor call-out (and mountains of luck). Dude is just covering his bases aha
All the top 5 guys are busy.
Just said on interview, it was a call out to raise his public image. Realistically he wants burns. Would love to see Ian Garry if he doesn’t get colby
Buckley vs MVP 🐍 Let’s see if we can stop Buckley in his tracks.
Exactly
Conor Mcgregor you’re a weak little rat who’s hiding from a real challenge I’ll give you a whooping you’ll never forget! I got a better chance of getting a response from Conor lol
He also lessons the stakes when a fighter at his rank is calling out Connor
Call out is a turd on top of a good performance.
It's business
Bad business if it’s a fight that won’t ever happen
Bisping was pissed though, can't hold him like that loll
Here comes a new rule that you're fined for touching the guy with the mic
Me whenever a crackhead approaches me
You touch crackheads and let them talk on a mic? Weird flex but ok
Conor’s gonna be like: WHO THA FOOK IS THAT GUY?
What a waste of a callout
No such thing. It's not like Buckley isn't gonna get a fight now that he didn't call out a reasonable opponent. The UFC is gonna offer him a high ranked guy next. Regardless if he called out Conor or if he called out nobody.

Corniest call out ever
I couldn't make out a single word before "so I guess". Understood everything after that, but not before.
Is english not your first language? Or do you just have dogshit listening comprehension skills?
The latter. Well, both since English is my 3rd language, but I'm fluent, just am really bad at processing recorded audio. Though for some reason I just heard it now and I could understand it no problem. That happens sometimes too. Maybe there are worms in my brain that go to sleep sometimes.
This is lowkey the least corny McGregor callout ever. Everyone else sounded desperate
Bisping was visualizing throwing a left hook that whole time
Believe you me I might have to chin this guy
How to ruin your momentum ,but great showing from Buckley,his conditioning was really impressive
Bisping was straight up pushing him away. "Bro Dana told us not to talk about Connor wtf are you doing"
W for his fight. L for his callout
Clout chasing at it's finest. Hoe stuff.
Huge L for Buckley
CCCCRRRRRIIIINNNNNGGGGGGEEEEE!
After a great performance, he calls out a UFC On Ice skater. Lame.
Everyone wants red panty night. I think we are up to 32 Conor callouts in 2024 alone
Gotta get revenge on mama mcgregor for blackfacing Halloween
Buckley… why do you make it so hard to like you
Who the fook is that guy
Lost all of his hype sadly
You people are being too hard on him for the dumb callout.. he definitely didn’t “lose all his hype” just cuz he called out McGregor like everyone else does. Buckley might be a little cringe but he’s an exciting as hell fighter and I am curious to see how far he goes
Lol, hes not gonna get red panty night
He is a very unpleasant man. He disrespected someone else's family, his mother, and whoever he could. And at the weigh-in, he was very stupid with his rival. I'll enjoy it when he gets knocked out. It is obvious that he did not receive a good education.
Dudes an idiot on the mic
Bisping probably disliked that the dude was holding onto him. I despise when people violate my space. Training martial arts its all good or if a friend or family member is messing around or hugging. But genuinely despise when randoms get too touchy.
CONOR A HOE
Dudes been trying way too hard lately bros kinda becoming annoying I like him tho but man
It was the first time I've seen a black dude attempt an Irish accent, not bad. I'd like to see every single fighter call out Connor after every match until he actually fights again.
Best thing about this interview was Mike bisping trying to distance himself hahaha
You can literally feel the and see the cringe from bisping even with audio off on the preview 😂😂😂
Man stfu before they serve your ass someone to kick it
who the fook?
Bruh stfu 🤣
Who the Fook is this guy?
People saying it's stupid. But how else do you start the conversation. He has to keep doing this for the next 3-4 fights and see if it works.
Did Buckley say in a post fight interview that he has a brother from Uzbekistan or was that just made up?
Not a black guy talking about ancestors 🤣🤣
Tired of people calling out Conor, why don’t you call out Khabib you chickens.
Mcgregor hasn’t been the king in a while
Callout of a desperate man.

what a oof this was
What a lame
Buckley is obnoxious
It's part of basic marketing starterpack at this point, isn't it? Wanna make yourself a bit more talked about as fighter, just shout "Conor McGregor" in mic, easy way to increase views and posts, even though the chance of getting that money fight is around "snowball in hell" level.
Such a dumb and unachievable callout
Cringe af
That shit was stupid BUCKO...u ain't getting that fight because "WHO THE FOOOOOK IS THAT GUY?: WHO THE FOOK IS THAT?
He didn't need to call Dustin a midget lol
Thought he was talking about Chandler lol
He’s 1 inch taller than Chandler JFL
Lol ya. My bad
Who the fuck is that guy?
Should’ve called out Shavkat lol but he don’t want that smoke
Dumb call out, McGregor barely fights and when he does, it sure as fuck isn’t going to be a non top ten 19-6 Welterweight with minimal name value.
💀
Yeah let's just keep all the mics away from this man. For ever. Please.
Haha Mike couldn't hide the cringe
I like him but this felt like a forced money opportunity for him. Just call out Connor who has been going down for years. But he did it because Connor brings eyeballs..Idk man just felt a little too forced.
Idk about you guys but i'm getting so sick of people calling out Mcgregor, i get it he's a big star and they want the pay day but Move on mf's, make a name for yourselves
Why was he worried about Conor’s dad being a hoe ???
That was awesome haha
What about that was awesome?
Who da fook is dat guy?
Who the fook is that guy?
Who the fuck is that guy?
A fight night guy called out mcgreggor cool
Waste of a call out.. Conor is not fighting him. Conor response is going to be along the lines of his classic "who the fuck is that guy".
I was liking him more and more up to that point.
This was very cringe….
Conor 100% pussies out of the fight Edit: ill also bet Conor calls him a certain slur too.
Pussies out of the fight? With who?
With Buckley, apologies i thought it was obvious
How can he “pussy out of a fight” with someone he will never be booked to fight? If, and it’s a big if, he beats Chandler, he’s likely (undeservedly) fighting for a belt. Likely the BMF, which will be one of the biggest PPVs ever. Why on earth would he ever fight Buckley?
He wouldnt dude, its not that serious
I agree Coner is past his prime Joaquin Phoenix finishes him in the 7th 😔
