The UFC makes its sixth trip to Nashville, Tennessee, this week, bringing a fight card featuring a dozen matchups to Bridgestone Arena, headlined by a heavyweight clash between Derrick Lewis and intriguing sophomore Tallison Teixeira.
Nashville has played host to several memorable debuts, finishes, and fights over the years, with both Carlos Condit and Khabib Nurmagomedov stepping into the Octagon for the first time in Music City, with more recent highlights including Anthony Pettis knocking out Stephen Thompson, Diego Lopes blowing through Gavin Tucker, and Tatiana Suarez submitting Jessica Andrade.
The potential for chaos and excitement feels high as we ready for the first event in a seven-week stretch that will feature stops in New Orleans, Abu Dhabi, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Shanghai, so sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the fisticuffs as we get things rolling this weekend.
