Summary

Derrick Lewis sent the fans in Nashville home happy with a 35-second knockout victory over Tallison Teixeira in the main event of Saturday's UFC Nashville card. "The Black Beast" is one of the most popular fighters on the roster right now, so a big fight for Lewis is quite possible — but could "big fight" mean title shot? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck gives his thoughts on what's next for Lewis after picking up another main event knockout victory. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Gabriel Bonfim following his controversial decision win over Stephen Thompson in the co-main event, Steve Garcia after his dominant unanimous decision win against Calvin Kattar, along with fellow main card winners Morgan Charriere, Vitor Petrino, Tuko Tokkos, and more.
