The Ultimate Fighting Championship is all set to return to Atlanta next month with UFC Atlanta 2025: Usman vs. Buckley fight night event which takes place on Saturday, June 14 at State Farm Arena.

UFC's return to Atlanta for the first time since 2019 is headlined by a thrilling welterweight bout that sees former champion and current No. 4 ranked contender Kamaru Usman battle surging No. 6 Joaquin Buckley.

Former dominant champion Usman (20-4), representing Denver via Nigeria, is back and aiming to make a resounding statement. After a three-year reign at the top, boasting KO wins over Covington, Masvidal, and Burns, Usman launches his 2025 campaign with a clear goal: reclaim his path to the world title.

Standing in his way is the surging Buckley (21-6), out of St. Louis, eager to add a former king to his growing list of conquests. A dynamic striker with knockout power, Buckley already holds thrilling finishes against Covington, Thompson, and Luque. Riding a six-fight win streak, he now seeks his seventh to solidify his championship aspirations.

Also on the UFC Atlanta card, a compelling flyweight clash is set as former strawweight queen and No. 6 contender Rose Namajunas faces off against the surging No. 12 Miranda Maverick.

Namajunas (14-7, Denver), aiming for a statement-making start to 2025, boasts a championship pedigree with impressive wins over Zhang Weili, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, and Jessica Andrade. She's determined to protect her ranking against another hungry contender.

Maverick (17-5, fighting out of Denver via Buffalo, MO), riding a four-fight win streak, seeks her biggest victory yet against a former titleholder. With wins over Andrea Lee, Priscila Cachoeira, and Gillian Robertson, she's eager to shock the division and climb the flyweight ladder by finishing Namajunas.
