UFC Nashville is filling up.
On July 12, the UFC returns to Nashville for the first time since 2023, with a Fight Night card headlined by a heavyweight matchup between Derrick Lewis and Tallison Teixeira, and featuring a co-main event featherweight contest between Calvin Kattar and Steve Garcia. Now those fights are starting to get some help.
On Tuesday, the promotion announced a number of other matchups filling up the promotion’s return to Bridgestone Arena. The bouts announced include Chris Curtis making his return to welterweight against Max Griffin, another welterweight contest between Jake Matthews and Chidi Njokuani, and a flyweight bout between former title challenger Lauren Murphy and the rising Eduarda Moura.
Additionally, Ateba Gautier takes on Robert Valentin, Vitor Petrino faces Austen Lane, Fatima Kline battles Melissa Martinez, and Junior Tafa slugs it out with Tuc Tokkos.
Additional fights are in the works for the card with a full bout order still to be determined.
