UFC Nashville Fight Card Finalized

By Chris Taylor - March 17, 2017

April’s UFC Nashville Fight Card is set!

Artem Lobov vs. Cub Swanson

The octagon will return to Nashville on April 22 for UFC Fight Night 108, a thirteen-bout fight card headlined by a featherweight tilt between Artem Lobov and Cub Swanson.

Cub Swanson is coming off a “fight of the year performance” at UFC 206, which saw him earn a decision victory over the “Korean Superboy” Doo Ho Choi. The win marked Swanson’s third-straight, as he had previously defeated Hacran Dias and Tatsuya Kawajiri.

Meanwhile, Artem Lobov is currently riding a two-fight win streak scoring decision victories over Chris Avila at UFC 202 and most recently Teruto Ishihara this past November.

The co-main event will feature the return of Al Iaquinta who will meet veteran brawler Diego Sanchez in a lightweight showdown.

Sanchez was last seen in action this past November where he earned a decision victory over Marcin Held. The former lightweight title challenger has alternated between wins and losses over his past five fights going 3-2.

Meanwhile, Al Iaquinta will return to the octagon for the first time since April of 2015, where he earned a split-decision victory over Jorge Masvidal. “Raging” is currently riding a four-fight win streak which includes wins over Joe Lauzon and Ross Pearson.

Also on the card is Knoxville product Ovince Saint Preux who will square off with Marcos Rogerio de Lima. “OSP” finds himself in desperate need of a win after dropping his past three fights in a row.
