LAS VEGAS – Mention the name Joaquin Buckley around Abdul Razak Alhassan, and rage will likely follow.
At his UFC Fight Night 217 post-fight news conference Saturday, Alhassan (11-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) went on an all-time rant as he unloaded repeated fiery calls for a rematch against Buckley (15-6 MMA, 5-4 UFC), who defeated him by split decision in February 2022.
All sorts of insults were hurled as Alhassan aired his grievances over the span of 11 minutes and particularly took exception with what he perceived as Buckley’s unwillingness to trade punches with him when they fought.
