A featherweight matchup has the chance to steal the show when the Octagon returns on July 12.
The top fights at UFC Nashville have a good chance to end the night in a number of violent knockout finishes given the hunters involved.
Derrick Lewis is the knockout record holder of the UFC for a reason and we already have from Tallison Teixeira, his opponent, considering the Brazilian packing a blow.
There is always a chance to see a striking clinic when Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson is in action and Gabriel Bonfim wants to make a statement on Saturday.
However, there is still a hunter on the map that recently has the best track record to put opponents away from anyone who will take the walk in the Bridgestone Arena.
Steve Garcia wants to produce his sixth consecutive knockout victory in the Octagon at UFC Nashville
In a featherweight matchup on the main map, the top 15 -veteran Calvin Kattar will try to bounce back from a heavy series of results by stopping the momentum of Steve Garcia.
Although Kattar is certainly the more experienced opponent, after he has shared the Octagon with some of the best hunters in the division, he is in his last four trips without a win.
Garcia, on the other hand, not only took care of the 145 pound ladder, he has brought down opponents with each of his recent versions.
'Mean Machine' was reflected from his last defeat in June 2022 by putting together five consecutive victories in which he stopped every opponent with strikes.
The 33-year-old continued his momentum until 2024 by producing two performance of the night bonus that win the first round knockouts about Seung Woo Choi and Kyle Nelson.
If he is able to produce his sixth consecutive knockout win, Garcia will join a very exclusive club of hunters who have achieved this performance.
UFC legend Don Frye and Sergei Pavlovich have both smashed six in a row while Chuck Liddell holds the record with seven.
Garcia is currently connected to some of the most difficult striking people in the history of sport, such as Conor McGregor, Francis Ngannou, Stipe Miocic, Junior Dos Santos and Matt Brown all producing five-fight KO stripes.
Finishing Calvin Kattar will be a big question of even someone who is as dangerous as Steve Garcia
Through 32 professional fights, the only 'knock -out' loss on the record of Calvin Kattar from his fight with Arnold Allen in 2022, where a knee injury caused an abrupt end to the action.
Kattar may have struggled in his recent fights, but his toughness is still one of his best qualities.
The Fan's favorite has famously absorbed the most important strikes that everyone has ever hit in a UFC fight when he came up against Max Holloway and went on the five-round distance.
It is certainly a difficult matchup for the 37-year-old who will want to prove that he still belongs in the top 15 after he fails to falter some of the top names of the division.
