Kamaru Usman ends victory drought at UFC Atlanta

Kamaru Usman finally rediscovered his winning formula at UFC Atlanta held at State Farm Arena, United States. The former welterweight champion — who hadn’t tasted victory in almost four years — defeated Joaquin Buckley via unanimous decision.

This fight marks a turning point for Usman — who previously suffered three consecutive losses to Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev. Meanwhile, this victory also halted Buckley’s impressive streak of six consecutive wins.

Usman’s previous achievements were remarkable — he had recorded 15 consecutive victories including six title defenses. This win opens new opportunities for him to compete again in the welterweight division, especially with Islam Makhachev’s planned arrival to this division.
