The UFC returns to Nashville, TN this weekend for an ESPN card with a whole lot of fun fight.
There’s plenty of competition for UFC Nashville over the next couple of days. On Friday, both ONE Championship and the PFL have events running, though neither go head-to-head with the UFC. Saturday, however, sees the return of Nate Diaz in a boxing match with Youtube celeb Jake Paul — which is the first action Diaz will see since parting ways with the UFC following UFC 279 in September.
At first glance, it might seem like UFC Nashville is a hard sell with Paul vs. Diaz going on (a card that also features Amanda Serrano meeting Heather Hardy for the second time). But the Nashville event is sneaky-good, and features key fights for both Cory Sandhagen and Tatiana Suarez that could propel either or both right into the title picture of their respective weight classes.
The return of Gavin Tucker, plus appearance from Dustin Jacoby and Billy Quarantillo, make this offering a fun one. Weigh-ins for the event go down Friday morning, full results can be found below!
Only one fighter was heavy during Friday’s weigh-in window, short-notice newcomer Dennis Buzukja. He hit the scales 0.5lbs over for his featherweight fight with Sean Woodson.
