A crucial heavyweight clash headlines UFC Fight Night on Saturday (July 12), as veteran knockout king Derrick Lewis faces rising Brazilian star Tallison Teixeira in a high-stakes bout in Nashville.

On the other hand, Teixeira arrives unbeaten and hungry, already turning heads with sharp striking performances in Brazil and on Dana White’s Contender Series.
