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.

NFL Hall of Famer played surprising role in Colorado's Deion Sanders' cancer recovery
Deion Sanders revealed on Monday that he was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer. The Colorado Buffaloes head coach shared during a press conference that doctors discovered a tumor on his bladder earlier this year. The tumor—and later the entire bladder—was removed, and Sanders, 57, is now cancer-free, according to his medical team. Naturally, Sanders received overwhelming support from family and friends throughout his battle. But he noted that fellow NFL Hall of Famer Randy Moss was especially instrumental in his recovery. "Randy Moss called me every other day to make sure I was straight," Sanders said, via Fox Sports. "Randy Moss prayed for me. He and his wife told me what I needed to be doing. He's gone through some things very similar." Moss recently fought his own cancer battle. The former Minnesota Vikings star was forced to step away from his role as an ESPN NFL analyst last December to deal with bile duct cancer. He returned in time for the network's Super Bowl 59 coverage and is expected to be back full-time this season on 'Sunday NFL Countdown.' As for Sanders, many feared he might be preparing to step away from coaching altogether. A video surfaced Monday showing Sanders acknowledging that he was preparing to make his will, which fueled speculation about his future in Boulder. Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Thankfully, that isn't the case. Sanders is set to embark on his third season leading Colorado. "It was never in my spirit, in my heart, I would never coach again," Sanders said, via On3's Brett McMurphy. Although life may now look a little different for Sanders, he made it clear he's in good spirits and ready to coach. And that's nothing but a positive sign for Colorado. Over the past two years, Sanders and the Buffaloes have become one of the most must-see teams in college football.
