By Zane Simon and Connor Ruebusch

The UFC heads into the final weeks of their massive 2019 opening run of events. This time around the promotion is headed to Nashville for a totally decent Fight Night that will have trouble standing out significantly from its peers in any way. In the main event, Stephen Thompson welcomes Anthony Pettis to welterweight, while Curtis Blaydes looks to become Justin Willis’ first roadblock to heavyweight title contention. Jussier Formiga and Deiveson Figueiredo will battle to see which elite caliber talent can avoid getting needlessly axed on a loss. And a number of interesting prospects while hope to catch eyes and move to better booking next time out.
