UFC Nashville happened TONIGHT (Sat., July 12, 2025) inside Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The main event featured ol’ hot balls against a long and lanky knockout machine. Derrick Lewis vs. Tallison Teixeira might have some implications for the top of the Heavyweight pile, now that the potentially White House-bound Jon Jonesis no longer champion.

UFC Nashville’s co-main was Stephen Thompson vs. Gabriel Bonfim. The 42 year-old Thompson was out to show that his slick striking is evergreen and that he could avoid the submission assault of Bonfim.

Rounding out the main card was Steve Garcia vs. Calvin Kattar, Nate Landwehr vs. Morgan Charriere, Junior Tafa vs. Tuco Tokkos and Vitor Petrino vs. Austen Lane.

UFC Nashville’s “Prelims” were headlined by Chris Curtis vs. Max Griffin. The “Prelims” also had Chidi Njokuanivs. Jake Matthews (which may well be the best fight on the card). Rounding out the “Prelims” were Kennedy Nzechukwu vs. Valter Walker, Lauren Murphy vs. Eduarda Moura, Mike Davis vs. Mitch Ramirez and Fatima Kline vs. Melissa Martinez.
