News Derrick Lewis vs Tallison Teixeira - Nashville (Main Event) - 12th July

[Trupsi]

Derrick's last fight was one year ago, a victory over Nascimento by finish in the 3rd.

Tallison's first fight in the UFC was a quick finish (35s) over Justin Tafa, back in february.

Who you got in this one ?

 

[andgonsil]

Tall son

 

[CieloLuce]

Rooting for Black Beast. One more great knockout for the books.

 

[TheMoa]

Xicão has potential, but they are already giving him a main event? damn son
Hope he doesnt get nuked

 

[Ares Black]

Tallison Teixeira is the most interesting HW prospect to come along in years.


He's way better than his brother Shortison.

 

[ChrisBenoit]

Surprised this isn't at the apex. Could see it going either way.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Yawn

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Nice hairline, Tall Son

 

[Neck&Neck]

Tallboy going to retire the BB

 

[Deceasedxo]

how the fuck is someone who has only had 8 fights main eventing... This is gonna look super bad if Lewis gets wrecked.

The UFC needs HW stars and they are trying to put Tallison over by feeding him a big name.

I think Teixeira is a pretty bad matchup for him TBH.

The UFC can get nothing further out of Lewis.

So their best bet is to transfer his fanbase to this new fighter

Shortison, lol

 

[Bubzeh]

Shooting him to the moon. Big test.

Huh? The UFC absolutely wants Lewis to get wrecked, and help mint a new star

 

[Spath]

Two guys with great power and knockout potential! This won’t go the distance

I think Black Beast will fold like a lawn chair when Tallison lands a couple of good ones and keeps going.

Nothing we haven’t seen before.

 

[CC27]

Throwing him right into the fire. Either he gets deaded by the beast or he wins and is the one HW coming up they can push that might be something.

Tallison aint never seen balls that hot

no but for real he's gotta be careful. BB's got the most UFC KOs for a reason

 

[Siver!]

They do like to roll the dice early on these LHW/HW prospects.

Not sure. Could be too much for Tallison, but he has been impressive.

Still, you gotta go through the fire before you get tests like this IMO.

I'll pick Lewis in these fights all day, every day until the rookie proves me wrong.
