UFC Nashville: ‘Lewis vs. Teixeira’ Live Results and Highlights

The Octagon returns to Tennessee for tonight’s UFC Nashville event, a 12-bout fight card headlined by Derrick Lewis vs. Tallison Teixeira.

Lewis (28-12 MMA) will be competing for the first time since scoring a third-round TKO victory over Rodrigo Nascimento fourteen months ago in St. Louis. ‘The Black Beast’ has gone 2-3 over his past five Octagon appearances, suffering losses to Sergei Pavlovich, Serghei Spivac and Jailton Almeida during that stretch.

Meanwhile, Tallison Teixeira (8-0 MMA) currently boasts an undefeated professional record. ‘Xicao’ most recently competed at February’s UFC 312 event, where he scored a first-round TKO victory over Justin Tafa in his promotional debut.

UFC Nashville is co-headlined by a highly anticipated welterweight bout between Stephen Thompson and Gabriel Bonfim.

Thompson (17-8-1 MMA) will enter tonight’s contest with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. The former welterweight title challenger most recently competed at UFC 307 in October of last year, where he suffered a third-round knockout loss at the hands of Joaquin Buckley. ‘Wonderboy’ has gone just 1-4 over his past five Octagon appearances, with his lone win in that time coming against Kevin Holland.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Bonfim (17-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since scoring a second-round submission victory over Khaos Williams this past February in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old has gone 4-1 over his past five fights, with his lone loss in that time coming against Nicholas Dalby.

Also featured on tonight’s UFC Nashville main card lineup is a featherweight bout between Calvin Kattar and Steve Garcia.

Kattar (23-9 MMA) will enter tonight’s contest with hopes of snapping a four-fight losing skid. ‘The Boston Finisher’ has suffered setbacks to Josh Emmett, Arnold Allen, Aljamain Sterling and Youssef Zalal in his most recent Octagon appearances. Calvin’s last win came back in January of 2022, when he scored a unanimous decision victory over Giga Chikadze.

Meanwhile, Steve Garcia (17-5 MMA) currently boasts a five-fight winning streak, his latest victory coming over Kyle Nelson this past September by way of TKO. ‘The Mean Machine’ has gone 6-2 since joining the promotion in February of 2020.
