Derrick Lewis is HIM. Not Francis Ngannou, not Jiri Prochazka, not Ilia Topuria, not even Conor McGregor–Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis is the heaviest hitter in UFC history and proved it again at UFC Nashville.

In the main event, he slept Tallison Teixeira in 35 seconds flat and then ran through the meme checklist — pants off, dog pee celebration, mooning the crowd, and straight-up telling everyone what he was going to do to his wife later. Classic Derrick Lewis. This card was wild, and in this video, I break down the whole thing — from the top to the bottom.
🟥 UFC Nashville Main Event: The UFC really tried to build up Tallison Teixeira like he was the next guy. They threw him into a main event in just his second UFC fight, hyped his size, his age (25), his intangibles — and Derrick Lewis said, “I took that personally.” What happened? Bonk. Left hand. 35 seconds. Game over. And yeah, the stoppage was fine — Teixeira was grabbing the fence, using it to get up. You can’t DQ the guy and save him at the same time.
🟦 Stephen Thompson vs Gabriel Bonfim: Now this fight… this was frustrating. I had Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson winning. Bonfim won a split decision, but I don’t think he did enough in Round 3. He just leaned on Wonderboy and kicked an already gashed shin. No damage, no offense. In Round 2, Wonderboy was piecing him up with that slick karate footwork and keeping him on the back foot. But hey, that leg cut was nasty. Props to Gabriel Bonfim for checking the kick that opened it.
🟩 Calvin Kattar vs Steve Garcia: Tough watch. Calvin Kattar looked like a grandpa in there. Steve Garcia dominated him. Kattar’s chin held up like always, but the movement’s gone. After Max Holloway, Giga Chikadze, Josh Emmett, Arnold Allen, and now this? The man’s seen better days. Still tough as nails, but age is undefeated.
🟨 Morgan Charriere vs Nate Landwehr: Charriere came out hot. Smooth on the breaks, nice body kicks — “The Last Pirate” was cooking. But as always, he faded in Round 2. Nate “The Train” Landwehr dragged him into a war, made it ugly. In Round 3 though, Charriere put his foot on the gas and cracked Landwehr. Redneck belt incoming? Somebody book Nate Landwehr vs Bryce Mitchell with a camo strap and a shotgun trophy. Make it happen.
🟧 Austen Lane vs Vitor Petrino: Trash fight. Vitor Petrino should’ve dusted Austen Lane, who has the worst chin in the UFC. But instead, we got a slow grind. Still, Petrino got the job done. Austen Lane? Time to go. This is the same guy who got KO’d by Greg Hardy in his pro debut.
🟪 Chris Curtis vs Max Griffin: My guy Chris Curtis came through! Fought through groin shots and a headbutt, and still kept the pressure. That lead right hook to the body was money. Max Griffin just couldn’t get off the cage, and Curtis made him pay. Not the prettiest performance, but effective.
