Check out which veterans of the UFC are competing in combat sports across the globe this week.

This week, the UFC travels to Atlanta for a Fight Night event.

UFC on ESPN 69 features a welterweight matchup between former champion Kamaru Usman and surging Joaquin Buckley at State Farm Arena.

Last weekend was an anomaly on the regional scene, as there were zero UFC veterans in action. That changes in a big way this week, as over 30 veterans of the Las Vegas promotion are competing worldwide.

Scroll below to see how the UFC veterans who competed in the last installment fared, and see the names and details of this weekend’s competitors.
