Record holder for knockouts in UFC history, Derrick Lewis added another victim to his resume by taking down the Brazilian 'giant' Tallison Teixeira in just 35 seconds in the main fight of the UFC Nashville, this Saturday (12). In addition to his performance during the fight, the American put on a show in celebration. Irreverent as always, the 'Black Beast' repeated his habit of taking off his shorts after the fight and, more than that, imitated a dog and pretended to urinate in his opponent's corner.
In an interview with his former rival Daniel Cormier still in the octagon, Derrick Lewis justified the act by stating that he felt disrespected by the team Tallison Teixeira throughout the week of UFC Nashville.

"They were talking shit to me all week. I don't speak Portuguese, but I know they were talking shit about me. F*** them. I know he was hurt. I know he's only faced tomato cans his entire career. I need more Brazilian taxi drivers in my next fight," the American teased.
