Kamaru Usman and Joaquin Buckley were hydrated and shredded at the final faceoff for Saturday's UFC Atlanta main event.

The UFC returns to Atlanta for the first time since April 2019 for UFC on ESPN 69, headlined by Kamaru Usman against Joaquin Buckley.

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

UFC on ESPN 69 takes place Saturday at State Farm Arena and marks the first competition for Usman (20-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC) in nearly two years as he battles Joaquin Buckley (21-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) in the main event. Although he's on a three-fight skid at 38 years old, Usman hasn't been deterred from the goal he's had his entire career: to be the best.

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.
