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. After dominating Buckley, is Usman officially a threat to regain UFC gold?
Following Saturday’s UFC Fight Night card, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee react to the event, Usman’s lopsided win over Buckley, what we learned about both fighters, and what Usman needs to do to get to a title fight. Additionally, they discuss Rose Namajunas’ win over Miranda Maverick, Malcolm Wellmaker’s sensational knockout, the weirdness that happened in the Rodolfo Bellato vs. Paul Craig fight, and much more.
