Joaquin Buckley taunts Ian Machado Garry with fiery message after Irishman's wife Layla Anna Lee intervenes

UFC welterweight contender Joaquin Buckley recently threw shade at Ian Machado Garry with his latest Instagram post.

Buckley is scheduled to face Kamaru Usman in his next fight on June 14. But initially, he was scheduled to fight Garry on the UFC Tampa card last December. However, Garry got matched up with Shavkat Rakhmonov after Belal Muhammad pulled out due to an injury. Both fighters have been wanting to fight each other and still share the same animosity.

Before Garry's fight against Carlos Prates at UFC Kansas City, Buckley was trying to confront the Irishman at the ceremonial weigh-ins. Garry's wife, Layla Anna Lee, however, got in between, and the security didn't let Buckley proceed.

'New Mansa' posted the whole video on his Instagram and captioned it as:

Joaquin Buckley is set to face the biggest test of his career as he is set to headline the UFC Atlanta against former champion and welterweight great Kamaru Usman.
