Former interim and undisputed heavyweight championship challenger, Derrick Lewis is reportedly in line for a July return to action in the main event of UFC Nashville, booking a clash with Brazilian contender, Tallison Teixeira.
Lewis, the most devastating knockout force in the promotion with 15 separate stoppages via that method, extended his record with a third round stoppage of another Brazilian opponent, Rodrigo Nascimento in a UFC St. Louis main event fight last May.
As for the 8-0 heavyweight prospect, Teixeira, the Contender Series product made his Octagon debut back in February, taking on Justin Tafa — recording a devastating knockout victory of his inside just 35-seconds of the opening round.
