Between the Links: Kamaru Usman shines, UFC Baku, Adesanya vs. Buckley

Former #UFC champ Kamaru Usman silenced the doubters with a dominant win over Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC Atlanta this past Saturday. While the majority of fans want to see Usman battle rival and former champ Belal Muhammad, Usman is no-selling that idea for a title fight. Is this the right move?

On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to Usman’s lopsided victory over Buckley, Usman’s look at the title picture and how it’s rubbing people the wrong way, and Buckley and Israel Adesanya having some words. Additionally, they’ll talk Rose Namajunas’ future after beating Miranda Maverick, other standout moments, PFL Nashville, and their event this weekend, Francis Ngannou chatter, UFC Baku headlined by Khalil Rountee vs. Jamahal Hill, and more.

Join MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew as they answer your questions all show long.
