Joaquin Buckley Doubles Down on $50,000 Challenge for a 'Striking Only' Match with Khamzat

#10-ranked welterweight blasted Chimaev’s grappling, saying he wrestles out of fear of getting ‘knocked out’ if he strikes. He referenced Khabib, saying he ‘never hugged them [his opponents] to death’ and instead 'ground-and-pounded.' Buckley recalled his offer to the middleweight champion of $50,000 to stand on his feet and strike for at least one round, claiming it would ‘expose’ him.
