Joaquin Buckley is 30 years old and just recently got on the UFC welterweight rankings. Buckley currently ranks #11 and is yet to climb the division rankings and fight the top contenders in his division first. As for McGregor, he has not made any statements to the callout just yet. It will be interesting to see if Buckley ever manages to step into the ring with McGregor somewhere down the line.
