Joaquin Buckley thinks Shavkat Rakhmonov is overrated. Buckley (19-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) takes pride in calling himself the Kill Cliff FC killer, after wins over Impa Kasanganay, Andre Fialho, and Vicente Luque. With Jack Della Maddalena sidelined due to injury, Buckley called out Rakhmonov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) for a fight in August, but he was immediately dismissed by the undefeated contender. Rakhmonov is touted to potentially be welterweight champion Belal Muhammad ’s first title defense, and Buckley picks Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) to beat him. “First off, I’ve shouted out that Shavkat has never been as good as people claim,” Buckley told Inside Fighting .
