Derrick Lewis' title aspirations are very much still alive.

Lewis easily handled Teixeira in a matter of seconds on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville in what was his first fight in more than a year. The 40-year-old, who is the UFC’s all-time knockout leader, added another TKO to his tally when he handled the 6-foot-7 Brazilian without much of an issue whatsoever.

Derrick Lewis will cash a check against anyone. Tallison Teixeira seeks to expedite his rise by beating a heavyweight stalwart. Their clashing philosophies meet at UFC Fight Night in Nashville on Saturday.

Only a select group in history have reached 20 octagon wins, and Derrick Lewis is now one of them after UFC Nashville.
