Joaquin Buckley is eyeing a title fight with a win at UFC Atlanta over Kamaru Usman. Buckley speaks on Islam Makhachev moving up to Welterweight and doesn’t believe that Makhachev vs UFC Welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena is a big fight.
“You already know we got this guy from 155 coming up thinking he going to take my spot. Nah, we can’t have it.”
Kamaru Usman believes Patchy Mix’s weight cut leading up to UFC 316 negatively affected his performance. Usman believes Mix has the skillset to be at the top of the UFC Bantamweight division.
