What does the future hold for UFC Nashville main event winner Derrick Lewis? He might not be that far from a title shot

He faced unbeaten Brazilian slugger Tallison Teixeira, 25, who earned a UFC slot with a win on Dana White's Contender Series and stopped Justin Tafa in just 35 seconds in his official company debut on a pay-per-view undercard five months ago.

In a 5-round heavyweight bout in the main event, Derrick Lewis and Tallison Teixeira meet Saturday at UFC on ESPN 70 in Nashville.
