UFC: Kamaru Usman Defeats Joaquin Buckley by fergie001(op): 6:56am On Jun 15, 2025

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman stepped into the Octagon after a 20-month hiatus, headlining UFC Atlanta and defeating surging contender Joaquin Buckley.

The 38yo who lost his title to Leon Edwards and later Khamzat Chimaev was attempting a return to a title shot after undergoing multiple meniscus knee surgeries over the years.

The Nigerian Nightmare won via unanimous decision

Re: UFC: Kamaru Usman Defeats Joaquin Buckley by fergie001(op):
Usman had the support of Davido & Francis Ngannou.

Boxing legend, Evander Holyfield was also backstage for the Boogeyman.

Ngannou walked Usman out to the ceremonials earlier...

Davido has such a positive energy, he is always radiant with smiles and positivity.

After loses, congratulations to him.

Israel Adesanya is next, I want to see him win again.
Re: UFC: Kamaru Usman Defeats Joaquin Buckley by McLizbae:
Big congratulations to KU, coming back is the toughest venture in fighting sports.

KU should really consider retirement too because his moves and skills are getting limited. Thank God for the take-down techniques. One more round and that take-down technique may not win him the fight, as the fight may end in a KO in favor of Joaquin. So many clear and hard hits and combos were delivered by Joaquin.

Congratulations on your winning, Camaru. More trophies for you.

Naija spirit.
Re: UFC: Kamaru Usman Defeats Joaquin Buckley by Dalohad:
Nice one..

But I thought that retired Boxer Samuel from Akwa Ibom, who retired after being beaten by those Ukrainian Klitschko brothers about 15 years ago, was called the Nigerian nightmare.

Somebody remind me his full name again.

Kamaru is the best African UFC fighter. He is very technical and skillful and deserves having one of the longest unbeaten runs in the UFC welterweight decision. Last 2 years had Leon Edwards at his best and fighting Chimaev the ultimate grappler was not too easy. But he's still got it. Maybe he'll fight Belal the Palestine guy next. They got beef.

Israel will win if he fights a weak opponent. The middleweight division is very rowdy. Even Izzy is kinda scared. I'll like to see Izzy against Michael "Venom" Page. That will be a match that will sell.

That was the Nigerian Nightmare in boxing. Samuel Peters had the Heavy weight belt at a time.

Buckley was on his back for the 1st 3 rounds though he was a better boxer due to his age and speed. Kamaru wrestled instead. Nice technique by Usman

That's the best thing he could do against a big puncher but if he fights a puncher who can defend take downs, it's going to be a long night for him.

The Ebube Dike song track played for Kamaru Usman during his grand entrance was awesome and so befitting.

Re: UFC: Kamaru Usman Defeats Joaquin Buckley by floss(m): 8:56am On Jun 15, 2025
Any day Usman takes his belt (career) to see any Nigerian president in Aso Rock, he should kiss his career goodbye, there’s nothing good that goes inside Aso Rock that remains the same.

That’s why I tell people, Nigeria problem resides in Aso Rock, something corrupt everything it comes in contact with over there, it even corrupts human, that’s why no matter who’s the president, no good can come out of that villa if you rule from there.

So many fighters have been called the Nigerian Nightmare over the years.

Ike Ibeabuchi
Samuel Peters
Kamaru Usman

It's now more or less the default nickname for the greatest Nigerian fighter of a particular generation.

But the original Nigerian Nightmare was an NFL player called Christian Okoye.
