Time doesn’t slow down in the UFC. Just weeks after the fireworks of UFC 316, fans are gearing up for another thrilling night, this time in Atlanta.
UFC Atlanta is set to deliver yet another high-stakes showdown as the main event features former welterweight king Kamaru Usman looking to reclaim his place among the elite, facing surging contender Joaquin Buckley.
For Usman, this bout is more than a comeback. After losing three of his last four fights, the former champ is looking to silence the doubters. Known for his suffocating wrestling and granite chin, Usman’s dominance defined the division for years, but now, he must prove he can still hang with the new wave.
On the opposite side stands Buckley, a fighter riding a six-fight win streak and brimming with momentum. Explosive, creative, and constantly evolving, Buckley has turned heads ever since his viral knockout win in 2020. Now ranked No.7, he’s out to cement his case as a legitimate title challenger, and taking out a legend like Usman could do just that.
The co-main event will also bring fireworks, with former strawweight champ Rose Namajunas returning to flyweight to take on the gritty Miranda Maverick. With names like Cody Garbrandt, Paul Craig, and Edmen Shahbazyan featured on the card, fans are in for a stacked night of action.
So, whether you’re watching from the U.S., cheering in Brazil, or catching the early morning action in India, here’s when to set your alarms.
