With just one UFC fight under his belt, Tallison Teixeira entered Saturday’s UFC Fight Night main event looking to break into the heavyweight top 10. Teixeira was given a rude awakening by the UFC’s greatest knockout artist, Derrick Lewis, who finished Teixeira with strikes in just 35 seconds.
From the opening moments, the heavyweights were swinging heavy shots. A jab from the long arms of 6-foot-7 Teixeira stunned Lewis in the opening seconds, with Lewis showing signs that a finger or knuckle had gotten into his eye.
Despite the potential eye poke, Lewis showed his trademark finishing power, connecting with a left hook that dropped Teixeira to the canvas. Lewis continued the assault on the ground before referee Jason Herzog called off the fight just as Teixeira reached his feet — though with the aid of illegally grabbing the cage.
With the win, Lewis extended is UFC record for the most knockouts in promotion history. Teixeira was the 15th time Lewis had stopped an opponent with strikes.
“I just knew he’d been fighting tomato cans his whole career,” Lewis said of his attitude as he entered the fight with an unproven opponent.
The result gives a long-time fan favorite a big win to stay relevant but leaves the future of the heavyweight division in a complicated position.
Tom Aspinall was recently promoted from interim to undisputed champion after Jon Jones retired with the belt. Aspinall needs intriguing challengers in a division that is very much in transition.
Rather than Teixeira emerging as a potential future threat, Lewis remains a relevant name in the division at 40 years old and with two failed bids to win UFC gold (interim and undisputed).
Lewis is also just 3-4 since 2022, though his popularity may be enough to land him an eventual fight with Aspinall.

Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool made Wimbledon history by winning the Wimbledon men's doubles final on Saturday.When Cash and Glasspool beat Rinky Hijikata and David Pel 6-2 7-6 (3) in the final on Centre Court, they became the first all-British pairing to win the title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey lifted the trophy in 1936. Jonny Marray, Neal Skupski and Henry Patten 12 months ago have all been home winners at Wimbledon in the last 15 years, but all with foreign doubles partners."It was absolutely incredible. It's a dream come true and to be able to do it in front of all your home fans, your friends, your family," Glasspool told Sky Sports News."I didn't feel too much pressure, I just felt a load of confidence with all the matches we'd won in the past."

Salače zlobilo rameno, přesto v předčasně ukončeném závodě v Německu dojel šťastně v desítce
„Je to pro mě docela těžký víkend, včera byla voda, měl jsem menší pád, hnul jsem si s ramenem a není to úplně ideální, je to už třetí den,“ pravil Salač před startem závodu do kamery TV Nova.V deštivé sobotní kvalifikaci si na německé dráze nedaleko hranic s Českem vyjel čtrnáctou příčku, ze které se po startu dostal o dvě pozice vpřed. Postupně ale začal klesat pořadím a pendloval kolem poslední bodované patnácté pozice.Směrem kupředu mu ale pomohly dva karamboly jezdců před nimi. Nejprve se srazil David Alonso s Diogem Moreirou a čtyři kola před koncem Albert Arenas s Marcosem Ramírezem. Právě po jejich srážce byl závod předčasně ukončen. Salač tak dojel posedmé z dosavadních jedenácti závodů v první desítce. Na Sachsenringu vyhrál Turek Deniz Öncü, jenž se nedlouho po startu ze šesté pozice dostal do čela a skoro celou dobu mu dýchal na záda Belgičan Barry Baltus. Třetí finišoval Salačův stájový […]
