Description

The event will mark the promotion's seventh visit to Nashville and first since UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Font in August 2023.

A heavyweight bout between former UFC Heavyweight Championship challenger Derrick Lewis and undefeated prospect Tallison Teixeira is expected to headline the event.

Junior Tafa is expected to face Tuco Tokkos in a light heavyweight bout at this event. They were originally scheduled to compete at UFC on ESPN: Sandhagen vs. Figueiredo in May, but both Tafa and Tokkos were forced to withdraw due to an injury.

A middleweight bout between Ateba Abega Gautier and Robert Valentin was scheduled for this event. However, the bout was moved to UFC 318 one week later for unknown reasons.
