Derrick Lewis vs. Tallison Teixeira Heavyweight bout earlier tonight (Sat. July 12, 2025) live on ESPN inside Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

Tallison Teixeira believes he can be the one to unseat Tom Aspinall, as long as one of his fellow countrymen doesn't do it

Tallison Teixeira lived up to expectations in his UFC debut. Touted by many as a big prospect in the heavyweight division, Teixeira (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) only needed 35 second to log his first UFC win. The Brazilian quickly stopped veteran Justin Tafa with a nasty elbow to the nose and then some follow-up shots in February at UFC 312.
