Lewis easily handled Teixeira in a matter of seconds on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville in what was his first fight in more than a year. The 40-year-old, who is the UFC’s all-time knockout leader, added another TKO to his tally when he handled the 6-foot-7 Brazilian without much of an issue whatsoever.

Derrick Lewis has offered an explanation for why he taunted Tallison Teixeira's corner at the conclusion of UFC Nashville.
