All the stoppages from UFC on ESPN 70 in one spot
The fighters at UFC on ESPN 70 had particular tunes in mind in “Music City,” and most of them didn’t include long outros.
There were eight finishes in 12 fights at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, with four each on the prelims and main card. Included among those stoppages was a bonus-winning heel hook for Valter Walker that gave him an astonishing three heel hook wins in three UFC fights – which never has been done before.
Another of those eight finishes came in the main event – and extended Derrick Lewis’ UFC record for knockouts. But it didn’t come without controversy when some decried referee Jason Herzog’s stoppage as too early 35 seconds into Lewis’ heavyweight fight with Tallison Teixeira.
Check out those two finishes and all the rest in the video above.
