Derrick Lewis extended his UFC knockout record by finishing Tallison Teixeira in just 35 seconds in the main event of UFC Nashville. With the heavyweight division in an unusual state following Jon Jones`s apparent retirement and Tom Aspinall`s promotion to undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion, could “The Black Beast” have potentially earned a title shot with this performance?
Following an entertaining UFC Fight Night event on Saturday, MMA Fighting`s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew shared their reactions on the post-fight show. They discussed Lewis`s victory, debated the appropriateness of the stoppage, and considered if Lewis could face Tom Aspinall next. The hosts also covered the scorecards from the co-main event between Gabriel Bonfim and Stephen Thompson, Calvin Kattar`s fifth consecutive defeat, Valter Walker`s notable streak of heel hook submissions, and various other talking points from the event.
