“Are you trying to get a view? Shut up or kill me!” Poirier wrote on Wednesday.
Buckley responded in another video, acknowledging that his criticism attracted attention and repeating his challenge to Poirier.
“I like the commentary here,” Buckley said. “It did what it was supposed to do. It got your attention. It got views. But that comment makes no sense. This n*gga said, ‘Shut up or kill me.’ How do you really want to take care of this? How do you really want to handle this, DP? Because I promise you don’t.”
“Not too long ago you wanted to do this to yourself. Delete yourself. Remove yourself from Earth. Don’t charge me. … But I’ll tell you this quickly. When I see you, let’s talk. Let’s talk about it. And if you don’t want to talk, then (I won’t) either, but you’ll take the first shot, and I’ll take the first shot,” but you’ll take the first shot. he added.
Strickland posted the sparring footage after an earlier video showed Buckley confronting the middleweight champion over his use of a racial slur at a promotional event.
