UFC action returns this weekend with UFC Fight Night: Usman vs. Buckley, live from State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Saturday, June 14. The main card will be available on ESPN, ESPN+ and SiriusXM Fight Nation 156 starting at 10 p.m. ET, with ESPN Deportes joining in progress at 11 p.m. The prelims will start at 7 p.m. on ESPN+ and SiriusXM Fight Nation 156.
Main Event:
- Top-ranked welterweights Kamaru Usman (20-4) and Joaquin Buckley (21-6) collide in a pivotal main event with major implications for the 170-pound division. Former champion Usman, currently ranked No. 5, returns to his natural weight class for the first time since 2022, aiming to reassert himself as a top contender after a short-notice loss at middleweight last fall. No. 7-ranked Buckley, unbeaten since moving down to welterweight, enters on a six-fight winning streak highlighted by a TKO victory over Colby Covington in December.
Co-Main Event:
- Flyweight contenders Rose Namajunas (14-7) and Miranda Maverick (17-5) meet in the co-main event. Namajunas, a former two-time strawweight champion, was active in 2024 with wins over Amanda Ribas and Tracy Cortez before falling short against Erin Blanchfield in November. Maverick enters on a four-fight winning streak after a productive campaign last year, including victories over Andrea Lee and Jamey-Lyn Horth. With both fighters looking to break through in a shifting 125-pound division, this bout marks a key moment in their respective climbs toward contention.
On the call:
- Brendan Fitzgerald will call the action alongside former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and UFC lightweight Paul Felder. Charly Arnolt will handle reporting duties.
