Next Saturday (12), the Ultimate will continue with a sequence of weekly events. This time, the most famous octagon in the world will land in Tennessee for UFC Nashville , which brings a generational duel in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2kg) between Derrick Lewis and Tallison Teixeira . In total, there are five Brazilians and 12 fights scheduled for the show.
Seeking a breakthrough and a path to the top of the division, Tallison has the tough task of withstanding Lewis's bombs. Currently ranked 13th, the Brazilian is looking to live up to the hype against the American, who is the greatest knockout artist in the company's history.

In the co-main event, a similar scenario: another Brazilian willing to withstand the firepower of a veteran to rise in his division. Gabriel Marretinha faces Stephen Thompson and envisions a good position in the welterweight division (up to 77kg), led by Jack Della Maddalena.
Also on the main card, prospect Vitor Petrino makes his heavyweight debut after a disappointing loss to Anthony Smith in Rio de Janeiro. The fighter is highly regarded and is expected to defeat Austen Lane , a former NFL player.
