Usman Dominates Buckley; Secures First Win Since 2021

Ex-UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman dominated Joaquin Buckley at UFC Atlanta to secure a unanimous decision win: 49-46, 49-46, 48-47.

Usman was looking for his first win since 2021 when he overcame Colby Covington at UFC 268. He entered the welterweight clash with a loss against Khamzat Chimaev in October 2023. This was Usman’s third consecutive defeat, raising question marks over his future. Meanwhile, Buckley is one of the leading contenders in the division. He has won his last six fights, having defeated Colby Covington in his last bout. The winner moves closer to a title shot against the welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena, showing the magnitude of Usman’s win. Here is how the fight played out.
