The UFC is back in Atlanta on Saturday night with a compelling 13-fight card, topped by the long awaited return of former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.
UFC on ESPN 69 (ESPN, ESPN+) takes place Saturday, and you can join us for live round-by-round coverage and official results beginning at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT). UFC on ESPN 69 takes place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
Former champs Kamaru Usman, Rose Namajunas and Cody Garbrandt went 2-1 at UFC Atlanta, setting them down varying paths forward.
Rose Namajunas became infamous for telling the world during her UFC title runs — and more importantly, telling herself — that she’s the best. To say it is one thing, though. To do it is another.
Namajunas lost a points decision to Erin Blanchfield in her last outing in November, describing it as hitting a "speed bump" and has also been beaten by title contender Manon Fiorot. The Milwaukee native, who is 13-7 overall in her MMA career, says her goal is to earn a title shot.
