On a rough skid for nearly four years, Kamaru Usman got back to basics Saturday and sent a rising welterweight contender back into the pack.

Kamaru Usman entered the UFC Atlanta main event against Joaquin Buckley as an underdog for just the third time in his UFC career, but delivered a vintage performance in his first fight in nearly two years.

The main event will see former UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman try to snap the first losing streak of his MMA career when he takes on #7-ranked Joaquin Buckley, who is 6-0 with four finishes since dropping down from the middleweight division in 2023.
