Teixeira, meanwhile, enters Saturday night's bout against Lewis with an undefeated record for his career, sitting at 8-0-0. Most recently, the 25-year-old Brazilian defeated Justin Tafa in February of this year via TKO (knee to the body and elbow), an impressive victory for Teixeira in a result that earned him a Performance of the Night bonus.

With President Donald Trump saying there’s going to be a UFC fight at the White House for the United States’ 250th anniversary, the Ultimate Fighting Championship goes to “Music City” for UFC Fight Night in the meantime.

Gabriel Bonfim edged out the UFC's oldest rostered fighter, Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson by split decision in the night's co-main event. Two judges scored the bout 29-28 for Bonfim, while one scored 29-28 in favor of Thompson.
