Chael Sonnen would like to see Kamaru Usman earn his title shot by facing the original No. 1 contender at welterweight.

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman turned back the clock to earn an emotional decision over red-hot contender Joaquin Buckley on Saturday at UFC Atlanta.

Buckley, who was riding wins over the likes of Stephen Thompson and Colby Covington, represented a tough challenge after such a long layoff, but the 38-year-old showed he has not lost a step and won the fight by unanimous decision.
