UFC Nashville Highlights: Eight Epic Finishes in Music City

Fighters competing at UFC on ESPN 70 chose specific tracks for their entrance in "Music City," with many opting not to have extended endings.

Eight finish outcomes occurred across 12 bouts held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, with four victories each on the preliminary and main events. Among these knockouts was a prize-earning heel hook from Valter Walker, marking his remarkable third heel hook victory in three UFC matches — a feat that had never been accomplished prior.

One of the eight finishes occurred in the main event — which added to Derrick Lewis' UFC record for knockout victories. However, it sparked debate as critics argued that referee Jason Herzog halted the bout prematurely, just 35 seconds into Lewis' heavyweight matchup against Tallison Teixeira.

Watch those two finishes and see everything else in the video above.
