UFC returns to Atlanta with a card that features former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman going up against Joaquin Buckley in the main event at State Farm Arena on June 14.

Usman (20-4) is currently the fourth-ranked contender, and with step into the Octagon for the first time in 2025 as he attempts to work back toward another title shot. However, he will be facing a rising opponent in the sixth-ranked Buckley (21-6), whose six-fight win streak includes finishes against Colby Covington, Stephen Thompson and Vicente Luque.

The co-main event will see former strawweight champion and current No. 6-ranked flyweight contender Rose Namajunas (14-7) take on No. 12 Miranda Maverick (17-5). Namajunas is a two-time former world champion, and poses a big test — and opportunity — for Maverick, who is seeking to run her win streak to five fights with a first victory over a former titleholder.
