Belal Muhammad previews Kamaru Usman vs. Joaquin Buckley

Kamaru Usman is currently on a three-fight skid, losing to Leon Edwards twice and Khamzat Chimaev once. The former welterweight champion looks to get back into the win column with this upcoming fight against Joaquin Buckley at UFC Atlanta.

Speaking to Daniel Cormier, Belal Muhammad shared his predictions for the fight, stating:

"[Kamaru Usman] is on a two-year hiatus. [Joaquin] Buckley has been going hard. He's been working, training, fighting well. He just dominated Colby [Covington]. Kamaru went to war with Colby. So I'm doing the math, Buckley is about to knock him out."
