Former UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, opened as the -170 betting favorite for his UFC Atlanta main event against No. 7-ranked contender, Joaquin Buckley, taking place on Sat., June 14, 2025 inside State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

That lasted about an hour.

Money came pouring in for “New Mansa” and the current line now has Usman as the +180 underdog. “The Nigerian Nightmare” turns 38 in just a few days and is coming off three straight losses while the 31 year-old Buckley (-220) is the winner of six straight.

Latest UFC Atlanta odds and betting lines courtesy of BetOnline.ag below:

Kamaru Usman +180Joaquin Buckley -220

Miranda Maverick +155Rose Namajunas -220

Court McGee +250Michael Chiesa -300

Cody Brundage +400Mansur Abdul-Malik -550

Jamey-Lyn Horth +175Tereza Bleda -205

Edmen Shahbazyan -205Andre Petroski +175

Jose Ochoa -125Cody Durden +105

Alonzo Menifield +300Oumar Sy -400

“I think it’s a really good matchup, and it will show what Kamaru Usman has left,” former UFC heavyweight champion, Daniel Cormier, said on ”Good Guy-Bad Guy” with Chael Sonnen. “I mean point-blank, right? All great champions have a time frame for greatness, because time doesn’t wait for anyone. It’s going to keep going forward. So it’s fair to say, right, he fought a while ago against Khamzat Chimaev and in losing, he almost elevated himself. Because he fought him so well when Chimaev was thought to be so dominant, and think about what Chimaev has done now to Robert Whitaker since the Kamaru Usman fight.”

It sure beats “saying stupid stuff and hoping it gets headlines.”

“So yes, Usman doing what he did should be applauded, but a win over Buckley can propel him forward,” Cormier continued. “Doesn’t matter what happened with Leon Edwards because he’s the biggest name, and if he wins he can then yell, ‘Belal Muhammad, Jack Della Maddalena, I want my shot,’ especially if Shavkat (Rakhmonov) is still hurt and those guys will listen. Is it safe to say that we are right in the midst of Kamaru’s last chance – not best chance, this is his last chance to try to not only become a champion, but to even really stay relevant in his division.”
