The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has uploaded a full compilation of all eight finishes from its recent UFC Nashville event, held on Saturday, to YouTube. This collection features the full main event between Derrick Lewis and Tallison Teixeira, ending with Lewis’s decisive victory and an energetic celebration.

Evolution in UFC’s Highlight Sharing Strategy

Historically, UFC has been reluctant to widely share full fight highlights outside its paid media partners, making access to knockouts and submissions difficult for casual fans unless they watched live on ESPN+. Previously, fans only saw brief clips of fighter celebrations on social media, without the actual finishes. Recently though, UFC and ESPN have started posting more Fight Night finishes on their official platforms, but those often appear only briefly in feeds, limiting their long-term availability.

High Number of Fight Stoppages Marks UFC Nashville

At UFC Nashville, eight of the twelve bouts ended in stoppages, a relatively high figure compared to recent events, where some cards featured only one finish. This energetic night of fights likely motivated UFC executives to compile and share the full set of finishes in this extended YouTube video, providing fans easier access to the action-packed moments.

Acknowledging Fighters and Future Highlight Sharing

The video showcases notable performances from fighters including Fatima Kline, Mike Davis, Valter Walker, Jake Matthews, Tucu Tokkos, Vitor Petrino, Morgan Charriere, and Derrick Lewis. Such comprehensive highlight packages help spotlight athletes who delivered memorable moments at UFC Nashville. The decision to consolidate these finishes into one accessible video may influence future promotional approaches for UFC Fight Night events, particularly those held outside the Apex facility.
