A high-level welterweight headlines the card, with former longtime champion Kamaru Usman (20-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC) set to take on the streaking Joaquin Buckley (22-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) in a five-round bout with significant divisional implications.

In a 5-round welterweight bout in the main event, Kamaru Usman and Joaquin Buckley meet Saturday at UFC on ESPN 69 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

The former welterweight champion returns to the Octagon against Joaquin Buckley at UFC Fight Night in Atlanta.

Sean Brady thinks Joaquin Buckley will be too much for Kamaru Usman at UFC on ESPN 69. Buckley (21-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) meets former UFC welterweight champion Usman (20-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC) in Saturday's main event (ESPN, ESPN+) at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

UFC Atlanta headliner Kamaru Usman is a fan of Islam Makhachev moving up to the welterweight division and wants a "blockbuster" fight against the former lightweight champion.
