UFC Fight Schedule in Nashville: Date, Time, Venue, and Ticket Costs
Jumpin' Jack and the UFC Return to Music City!
It's time to grab your fight gear and head to Nashville, Tennessee on July 12, 2025, because the UFC is making its triumphant return to the city since August 2023! This eagerly awaited event is set to take place at the thunderous Bridgestone Arena, and it's going to be a night you don't want to miss.
The UFC Nashville fight card is packed with electrifying matchups, but the main event is a jaw-dropping heavyweight showdown between two hard-hitting warriors. In one corner, we have former UFC heavyweight title challenger, Derrick "The Black Beast" Lewis. Known for his ferocious knockout power, Lewis has a UFC record of 15 knockouts – more than any other active UFC heavyweight. With a career spanning back to 2014, Lewis is a true heavyweight veteran, having competed in 29 bouts within the Octagon. He holds the UFC record for most fight-night bonus awards with eight, and his last victory was a knockout win over Rodrigo Nascimento in May 2024.
In the opposite corner, we have the undefeated Tallison "The Iceberg" Teixeira. This rising star joined the UFC in 2024 and has quickly made a name for himself in the heavyweight division. All eight of Teixeira's career victories have come via first-round stoppage, demonstrating his fantastic finishing skills. He became a household name after his impressive knockout win on a Dana White Contender Series card, and his UFC debut was nothing short of spectacular, where he scored a first-round knockout against Justin Tafa and earned a "Performance of the Night" bonus.
But the heavyweight fireworks aren't the only thrilling matchups on this card. Here's a quick rundown of some other remarkable fights on the night:
- Featherweight clash between Calvin Kattar (23-9-0) and Steve Garcia (17-5-0)
- Welterweight battle between Stephen Thompson (17-8-1) and Gabriel Bonfim (17-1-0)
- Welterweight contest between Chris Curtis (31-12-0) and Max Griffin (20-11-0)
