Tallison Teixeira faces off with Derrick Lewis | Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Tallison Teixeira never dreamt of being in this position so early in his career, headlining UFC Nashville against knockout artist Derrick Lewis this Saturday in Nashville, and that could forever change his life. The unbeaten 25-year-old prospect made short work of Justin Tafa in his UFC debut this past February, scoring a vicious 35-second knockout in enemy territory at UFC 312 , and now gets Lewis as his next assignment. Facing such a veteran in his second UFC appearance, shows “the organization has a ton of faith in me” and would certainly mean a giant leap in heavyweight rankings with another impressive finish.
