Održan je UFC Nashville, predvođen Cubom Swansonom i Artemom Lobovim, kod kojeg su organizatori očito pokušali iskoristiti činjenicu da je timski kolega i dobar prijatelj Conora McGregora.

Ovoga puta Lobovu nije išlo, jer deklasirao ga je Cub Swanson, veteran s preko 20 mečeva u UFC-ovom oktogonu.

Prije toga je Al Iaquinta , koji ratuje s UFC-om već duže vrijeme, ostvario brutalan finiš nad Diegom Sanchezom nakon dvogodišnjeg izbivanja, te je nakon spoznaje da nije dobio bonus poručio organizaciji (preko Twittera) da se "j*bu". Podsjećamo, jedan nedolazak na okupljanje boraca ga je koštao mogućnosti dobivanja bonusa u sljedeća tri meča, stoga je moguće da je i zbog toga izvisio.

Osim toga, Ovince Saint Preux je postao jedini borac u UFC-ovom oktogonu koji je dvaput ostvario Von Flue gušenje (svladao je Marcosa Rogeria de Limu), a Mike Perry je nokautirao Jakea Ellenbergera brutalnim laktom.

John Dodson je bio prebrz za Eddieja Winelanda, Joe Lauzom preumoran (u kasnijim rundama) za Stevieja Raya, a slavili su još i Thales Leites, Scott Holtzman, Brandon Moreno, Danielle Taylor, Alexis Davis, Bryan Barberena i Hector Sandoval.
