It will be Usman's first fight since a short-notice middleweight loss to Khamzat Chimaev in October, 2023, and his first in the welterweight division since March of the same year.

Usman took a unanimous decision win over Buckley on the strength of his wrestling base in the upset.

Malcolm Wellmaker proved why he was one of the heaviest favorites on the card, making quick work of Kris Moutinho in the first round.

Bellato immediately looked toward the referee and threw his hands up as he was falling backward.
