Kamaru Usman is rested, recovered and ready to restore his status as the second-best welterweight ever. Usman ends the longest hiatus of his 12-year career at UFC Fight Night on Saturday. Welcoming back the former champion is Joaquin Buckley, a promising contender representing the new wave at welterweight.

This is Usman’s return to the Welterweight class. After losing to Leon Edwards for a second straight time for the championship at UFC 286 in March 2023, and a failed attempt to move to the Middleweight division, Usman is back looking to move back up the rankings.
