Lewis (28-12, 1 NC) is coming off a third-round knockout finish over Rodrigo Nascimento in the UFC St. Louis main event back in May 2024. As for Teixeira (8-0), he was last seen obliterating Justin Tafa as part of the UFC 312 pay-per-view (PPV) card in Sydney — his first UFC fight since graduating Dana White’s “Contender Series” in late 2024.
The Tennessean. “I don’t care who you are, just one punch by me, I’m going to get rid of you. So that’s what we’re going to be focusing on, to get rid of this guy in the first round … I got an opportunity to end this fight in any round that I want to, if I just put everything together that we’ve been working on.”
