Kamaru Usman, Rose Namajunas Return at UFC Atlanta June 14

UFC CEO Dana White has announced that former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will headline UFC Atlanta on June 14 against fast-rising contender Joaquin Buckley, who is on a six-fight win streak and recently defeated Colby Covington. This bout marks Usman's return to the welterweight division after recovering from injuries and a majority decision loss to Khamzat Chimaev at middleweight. The co-main event features former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas facing Miranda Maverick, who is riding a four-fight win streak at flyweight. Both Usman and Namajunas are in must-win situations if they wish to remain in title contention within their divisions. Buckley and Maverick, meanwhile, are seeking statement victories to climb the rankings and potentially secure future title shots.
