Kamaru Usman showcased his dominance with a unanimous decision win over Joaquin Buckley at UFC Atlanta, sparking discussions on his next move in the welterweight division.
Kamaru Usman reminded everyone why he’s considered one of the greatest welterweights of all time. The UFC Atlanta main event ended with Usman’s hand raised high after a vintage performance against top 10 contender Joaquin Buckley.
It had been over 800 days since Usman competed at 170 pounds, and it didn’t look like he missed a beat. He grounded Buckley for most of five rounds, cruising to a unanimous decision win. So, where does the former champ go from here?
On an all-new edition of “On To the Next One,” join MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee. They discuss whether Usman has any option besides the most glaringly obvious one for his next fight.
And where does fellow former champion Rose Namajunas go? She held onto her spot in the flyweight contender line with an impressive win over the streaking Miranda Maverick.
Plus, we make matchups for main card winners Edmen Shahbazyan, Raoni Barcelos, Mansur Abdul-Malik, and Alonzo Menifield. All that and the usual fine collection of listener picks.
