MMA Fighting UFC Nashville Preview Show | Will Derrick Lewis And Tallison Teixeira Break The Heavyweight Finish Curse?
Derrick Lewis and Tallison Teixeira, save the heavyweight division!
OK, that may seem over-dramatic for what is, on paper, a fun main event between one of the UFC’s most veteran fighters and an undefeated 25-year-old prospect, but it’s been almost four months since we’ve seen a #UFC heavyweight finish and if Lewis and Teixeira can’t produce one, no one can.
Ahead of Saturday’s #UFCNashville event, MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee and E. Casey Leydon preview the fight card, including how Lewis’ big-game experience stacks up against Teixeira’s raw talent, and how much closer this matchup nudges Lewis towards retirement, win or lose. Additionally, they discuss Stephen Thompson being in a similar situation to Lewis as he faces up-and-coming Brazilian standout Gabriel Bonfim, a pair of featherweight bangers on the main card, the standout stories from every fight on the card, and some wide odds rarely seen at the UFC level.
All that, plus questions from YOU the fans.
