Usman schools Buckley — Dawg Alert Hit the Spot
By OddDawgz Staff • 6/16/2025
Kamaru Usman reminded everyone why he’s still dangerous—even as a modest underdog.
Heading into UFC Atlanta, Buckley came in red-hot, riding a six-fight win streak and owning 81 % of community picks. But Usman (+180) had other plans.
🛡 Bout Breakdown:
-
Excelled in wrestling—completing four takedowns and controlling Buckley across all five rounds, turning aggression into ground dominance.
-
Judged unanimously: 49‑46, 49‑46, 48‑47. Buckley never found his rhythm.
-
Story: veteran savvy over athletic hype. Usman is back.
✅ Dawg Outcome:
| Pick | Result |
|---|---|
| Kamaru Usman ML (+180) | ✅ WIN via Unanimous Decision |
That felt like the smart one—and the money made it feel even better.
🔥 Dawg Insight:
Nerves + hype streak ≠ UFC-readiness. Experience and fight IQ still matter. Usman played a textbook game plan and took home the W.
