“NGL if me and Gsp fought at the same age ( 30 ) I’d knock out the GOAT, TBH,” Buckley tweeted Friday.
Buckley’s bold claims haven’t all been fun and games in recent weeks. He ruffled Daniel Cormier‘s feathers on social media, forcing Cormier to issue an expletive-laden response.
As of this writing, St-Pierre hasn’t issued a response to Buckley’s bold claim, and he likely won’t respond in a hostile fashion given his history.
St-Pierre is arguably the greatest UFC welterweight of all time and is in the conversation for the greatest overall fighter in UFC history. He retired after a middleweight title win over Michael Bisping at UFC 217.
St-Pierre retired on a 13-fight winning streak and a long title reign as the UFC welterweight champion. He finished his career with the most welterweight title fight wins (12), title defenses (9), and most takedowns (90) in UFC history.
Despite St-Pierre’s various accolades and accomplishments, Buckley feels he would’ve knocked him out unconscious if they met in the cage. Unfortunately, he’ll never get the opportunity to prove his point.
