US EditionKamaru Usman Outlines "Map" Toward Potential UFC Title Shots at Welterweight and Middleweight After Joaquin Buckley Clash
- Kamaru Usman, the ex-UFC welterweight champion, is set to make his comeback this weekend in Atlanta, where he will face rising contender Joaquin Buckley at the UFC event airing on ESPN.
- Usman has been inactive since October of last year, following a short-notice middleweight match against Khamzat Chimaev in which he was defeated, and has been managing persistent injuries since then.
- Despite years of knee pain from intense wrestling training and multiple meniscus surgeries, Usman remains confident and aims to finish Buckley decisively to earn another title shot.
- Usman expressed confidence that he ranks above all the fighters ahead of him and revealed that he has been dealing with severe knee pain for a decade, yet he emphasized that his performance has not suffered despite these challenges.
- If Usman regains the welterweight championship, he intends to pursue a second title by competing in the middleweight division, though there remains skepticism about the feasibility of this ambition.
