Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman turned back the clock to earn an emotional decision over red-hot contender Joaquin Buckley on Saturday at UFC Atlanta.

Kamaru Usman took advantage of his UFC Fight Night main event with Joaquin Buckley to prove he is still one of the elite welterweights in the world. Usman took a unanimous decision win over Buckley on the strength of his wrestling base in the upset.

On a rough skid for nearly four years, Kamaru Usman got back to basics Saturday and sent a rising welterweight contender back into the pack.
