MMA Fighting has UFC Nashville results for the Lewis vs. Teixeira fight card, a live blog for the top two fights, and more from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., on Saturday night.
In the main event, multi-time title challenger Derrick Lewis returns to the octagon for the first time in 14 months to face undefeated finisher Tallison Teixeira. In his most recent outing, “The Black Beast” added to his all-time knockouts record with a finish of Rodrigo Nascimento in the main event of UFC St. Louis in May 2024. Teixeira made quick work of his debut opponent Justin Tafa at UFC 312 in Feburary, getting the win in just 35 seconds.
Stephen Thompson makes his 2025 debut in the co-main event as he faces surging welterweight contender Gabriel Bonfim. “Wonderboy” looks to avoid a three-fight losing streak, while Bonfim aims for his third straight victory.
