Joaquin
Buckley didn’t take Dustin
Poirier’s airport incident as lightly as most did.
Poirier was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International
Airport this past June for public intoxication. “The Diamond”
subsequently owned up to his actions and even tried to reach out to
a police officer to apologize after threatening to fight and
directing a racial slur at him.

While most fans made light of the incident, Buckley is now calling
out the retired
Ultimate Fighting Championship star.
What Joaquin Buckley said about Dustin Poirier’s Atlanta
airport incident
Buckley recently went off on the former interim champion for
disrespecting female staff during the airport altercation. The UFC
welterweight also says Poirier’s demeanor softened as soon as a
police officer arrived. “New Mansa” then challenged Poirier to
confront him about his latest rant.
“It was a lot of you that came out that day and the frustration
that you had,” Buckley said on Instagram. “It didn’t have nothing
to do with missing the flight, ‘cause you easily could have booked
another… If you’re upset, why the black lady’s got to be h**s or
some sh*t… When that other police officer showed up, you sobered
up real quick… Any person that got a problem with what I’m saying,
and especially you, Dustin Poirier, if you really want to roll up
and do something about it, I promise you this, in your words, quote
unquote, ‘It’s gonna be bad for you.’ Pull up and do something,
’cause I want you to check me like you checked them h**s that you
spoke on.”
Buckley’s rant began with Poirier supporting Josh Hokit.
He then questioned Din Thomas for
backing Poirier over the airport incident. Currently on a
three-fight losing skid, Buckley claims his next bout will be his
last.
