“I don’t care about that Usman fight…nobody wants to fight me toe-to-toe,” Buckley said, then turned to Rakhmonov: “I heard you talking…I’m gonna f— you up.” Buckley hasn’t fought since his loss to Usman. Meanwhile, Rakhmonov has been sidelined by injury since UFC 310 & is targeting an early-2026 return. Earlier, he called out Buckley, saying, “Black boy, you’ll get beat up.”
