Heavyweight violence commences tonight when Derrick Lewis makes his long-awaited return to the UFC Octagon.
'The Black Beast' has been out of action for more than a year and looks to make it two wins in a row against the towering Tallison Teixeira. In this new heavyweight era, any fighter could make a case as the next heavyweight title challenger, especially with champion Tom Aspinall aiming for four fights a year.
It's a tall task for Lewis, both figuratively and literally, as he welcomes Teixeira into his first main event opportunity. Fans are also eating well with the undercard, which features a wealth of top talent, including the promising Fatima Kline and Mike Davis.
