Fan-favorite Derrick Lewis will return for the first time in more than a year against a burgeoning terror.
The UFC returns to Nashville this July, bringing with it a monumental heavyweight tilt between perennial contender Lewis (28-12-0, 1 NC MMA, 19-10 UFC) and recent promotional debutant Tallison Texieira (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 260.
Coming off of a main event knockout over Rodrigo Nascimento, Lewis will be looking to preserve his ranking when he locks horns with one of the more promising young names the division has seen in some time.
