Derrick Lewis Strengthens UFC KO King Status with 35-Second Victory

Derrick Lewis proved his status as the UFC KO King with a spectacular victory over Tallison Teixeira in the main event of UFC Nashville at Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, United States.

This heavyweight bout ended remarkably quick — Lewis landed a left hook precisely on Teixeira’s chin, sending his opponent crashing to the canvas. The veteran fighter immediately followed up with a ground-and-pound assault that forced the referee to stop the fight after 35 seconds.

This victory further cements Lewis’s dominance in the heavyweight division — he now holds 16 knockout victories in the UFC, the most in the organization’s history.
