UFC Fight Night 190: Usman vs Buckley

A two-time strawweight champion looking to make history by taking another divisional championship, Rose Namajunas has already scored two big wins over Amanda Ribas and Tracy Cortez at flyweight, and she intends on leaving Atlanta with a third when the dust settles here tonight.

With his last four wins coming by way of knockout, Edmen Shahbazyan remains one of the most potent punchers in the UFC, “The Golden Boy” clearly isn’t interested in hearing the judges’ scorecards when he faces Andre Petroski.

A staple of the bantamweight division for nearly a decade, Cody Garbrandt has been to the top of the mountain at 135 pounds, and now he’s looking to get back there. But Raoni Barcelos is showing some of his best form to date, and if he can beat “No Love,” it will be a career-altering victory.

Perfect as a professional, Abdul-Malik has done nothing but impress since emerging from Dana White’s Contender Series last year, and with back-to-back knockouts of Dusko Todorovic and Nick Klein, he’s proven to be ready for his step-up against the always tough Brundage.

After a brief wait, light heavyweights Alonzo Menfield and Oumar Sy get to meet here in Atlanta, and when these two finishers collide, the result is expected to shake the foundations of the light heavyweight division.

Returning to 205 pounds after a four-fight run at middleweight, Scottish submission king Paul Craig believes he has unfinished business in the division, and given his wins over Jamahal Hill, Shogun Rua and the new champ, Magomed Ankalaev, all eyes will be on him as he tries to settle some scores.

Fresh from back-to-back submission wins over Tony Ferguson and Max Griffin, Chiesa has found new life in his career at 170 pounds, and he wants to keep that momentum going against McGee, who picked up a submission win of his own in his 23rd UFC fight last October.

5-0 with five finishes since his last UFC bout in 2022, Massachusetts’ Moutinho has certainly earned his call back to the big show, and he’s planning to make waves in a bantamweight class that is one of the most exciting in the sport.

Aiming for a return to the flyweight Top 15 sooner rather than later, Covington, Georgia’s Cody Durden can get closer to hitting his goal if he can leave his local fans cheering with an emphatic win over Jose Ochoa.

With his home state fans in Washington cheering him on in February, Ricky Simon scored the most memorable win of his UFC career as he knocked out Javid Basharat in the first round, earning himself a Performance of the Night bonus. Now, he will aim for a repeat against Cameron Smotherman.

After a rollercoaster campaign in 2024, Loosa is back with a clean start for 2025, and he’s confident that he will show the form that led him to UFC victories over AJ Fletcher and Rhys McKee when he straps on the gloves this bout.

Jamey-Lyn Horth may have entered the UFC in 2023 with only five professional fights under her belt, but the Canadian has proven to be a quick study at the highest level of the sport, and Squamish’s finest returns for her first assignment of 2025 against Vanessa Demopoulos.
