Who's next for Kamaru Usman after beating Joaquin Buckley?
MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn plays matchmaker and looks ahead to what makes sense for Kamaru Usman.
Rose Namajunas was the biggest winner at UFC on ESPN 69 – at least from a financial standpoint.
Namajunas, a former strawweight champion, led all fighters on the card in disclosed pay as she earned $500,000 for her unanimous decision win over Miranda Maverick in the UFC on ESPN 69 co-main event. On Monday, MMA Junkie obtained the list of disclosed fighter salaries from Matt Woodruff, executive director of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission, which regulated this past Saturday's event at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
Kamaru Usman earned the second most behind Namajunas as the former welterweight champion earned $300,000 for his unanimous decision win against Joaquin Buckley in the night's main event.
In total, half the card (13 of 26 fighters) took home six-figure payouts. You can check out the full list below. It's important to note that the numbers reflect payouts disclosed to the Georgia commission and do not include any discretionary bonuses that might've been paid by the UFC.

Alexandre Pantoja sees Kai Kara-France as Mike Tyson-level knockout threat at UFC 317
Alexandre Pantoja sees Kai Kara-France as Mike Tyson-level knockout threat at UFC 317 Alexandre Pantoja thinks highly of Kai Kara-France's knockout power and will be weary of it going into their UFC 317 title showdown. The reigning UFC flyweight champion Pantoja (29-5 MMA, 13-3 UFC) has tasted the hands of Kara-France (25-11 MMA, 8-4 UFC) before. They met in a two-round exhibition on Season 24 of "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series in 2016, with Pantoja winning by unanimous decision. Now they rematch with the highest possible stakes in the sport on June 28 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view). Pantoja has put together a reign of terror over the 125-pound weight class, and has already racked up three consecutive title defenses within a seven-fight winning streak overall. The Brazilian is arguably the UFC's most dominant champ, but even he admits Kara-France brings a different degree of danger than other contenders, and especially the one he faced almost a decade ago under far different circumstances. "I'm not playing when I get into the octagon," Pantoja told MMA Junkie. "It's kill or die. I fight with my soul every time and that's why everyone stops to watch my fights. I have the opportunity to do it one more time with Kai Kara-France. The guy with the powerful hands. I feel Kai-Kara France is like a Mike Tyson. I'm going to fight with someone who can knock me down and that makes me pay a lot of attention to his hands. That's a good challenge. I need challengers to train, I need challengers to live." Pantoja, No. 3 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie pound-for-pound rankings and No. 1 at flyweight, said he is fully focused on further establishing his legacy in the division against No. 8-ranked Kara-France. Already having run through many of the division's top contenders, and some of them twice over, Pantoja would have every reason to be complacent in his position. That's not in his DNA, though, and instead he is trying to hone in on and overcome the difficulty in every successive fight. With this one, it's the threat Kara-France brings on the feet. Does that mean he'll try to engage with the New Zealander as little as possible when standing? Pantoja hinted that could be far from the case. "He can knock you out with one punch," Pantoja said. "I need to pay attention to that. If I see him like Mike Tyson, maybe I need to be more like Muhammad Ali. I need movement. But if he tries to hit me, I have a very good chin. I've proved that many times. I don't want to prove that a lot. I want to move my head more. That's something I've really worked on. But I have strong hands, too, and that's going to be an amazing opportunity to prove to everyone that I have strong hands. "If you want to hit me, you need to know I'm going to hit you, too. I have strong hands. Maybe it's going to be a good opportunity to knock someone out. Kai Kara-France is a good fighter. Very competitive, high-level fighter and is going to be a good challenge for me."

Jamahal Hill respectfully labels Khalil Rountree as not 'on my level' before UFC on ABC 8
Jamahal Hill respectfully labels Khalil Rountree as not 'on my level' before UFC on ABC 8 Show Caption Hide Caption UFC Baku Jamahal Hill previews main event with Khalil Rountree Jr. Jamahal Hill talks to MMA Junkie ahead of his UFC on ABC 8 main event against Khalil Rountree Jr. on Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan. Jamahal Hill feels healthy, confident and fully capable of delivering a performance that meets his own standards against Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC on ABC 8. Former UFC champion Hill (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) enters Saturday's light heavyweight main event against Rountree Jr. (13-6 MMA, 9-6 UFC) at Crystal Palace Hall in Baku, Azerbaijan, on a two-fight losing skid that spanned over a difficult chapter in his career. After claiming the vacant belt in January 2023, Hill suffered a torn Achilles that forced him to relinquish the strap. He returned in stunningly quick fashion in April 2024 to lose against then-champion Alex Pereira at UFC 300, before he suffered a third-round TKO loss to Jiri Prochazka at UFC 311 in January. There were a number of injuries in the midst of all those fights, as well, one of which postponed a main event date with Rountree Jr. from April 26 to this weekend. Now, "Sweet Dreams" thinks the rough patch is behind him and is ready to get back to the form that previously led to UFC gold being wrapped around his waist. "I'm just getting back to myself," Hill told MMA Junkie on Monday. "I've grown a lot of sour taste to my name since the injuries, but I still dealt with bad injuries. For more people, an Achilles injury in most sports, that's a career-killer. A lot of people never come back, and they're never the same. I wanted to push my way back to where that thought won't even creep into my mind. Was it the best move for me? Maybe. Maybe not. "It's my story, and my story is written and I'm writing it as we speak. I just want to being me and feeling the way I feel in there, because I know if I get back to where I was feeling before these injuries, I'm the best in the world." For Hill, No. 4 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie light heavyweight rankings, the matchup with No. 8-ranked Rountree Jr. is one where he can show up and show out. He knows that at this weight class against an opponent like Rountree Jr., who has a proven striking and knockout ability, nothing is given when the door closes inside that octagon. However, Rountree Jr. is the first name in nearly Hill has fought in nearly five years that hasn't been a UFC champion. "Let's not disrespect him, but I just don't see him on my level," Hill said. "He can hit you with some big shots, and he's never going to stop, and never going to quit and give up. There ain't no back down from him. ... I haven't seen anything from anything that makes me think, 'This dude is on your level.' Is he dangerous to anybody? It's a fight. In a fight, anybody can land a shot, and that makes them dangerous and can change the fight. He has my respect in that regard, but to think skill-for-skill he can match with me? I don't see it that." Hill's perspective on Rountree Jr. is overwhelmingly positive, and after studying him multiple times prior to finally getting the fight to come to fruition, he knows what needs to be done to get his hand raised. Doing so is Hill's only mission statement at this point, he said. The future at the top of the division is somewhat unstable, with expectations that champion Magomed Ankalaev will rematch Pereira next. Hill said he isn't focused on where a win would put him at 205 pounds, because if he fails at UFC on ABC 8, any speculation would be for nought. "Right now I'm not thinking about titles," Hill said. "I'm not thinking about rankings. I'm thinking about going in and dominating Kahlil Rountree on Saturday night."
