Former interim and undisputed heavyweight title challenger, Derrick Lewis has admitted he has no qualms about bending the rules and cheating in his fights — even reflecting on an intentional groin strike in a prior pairing before his UFC Nashville headiner in July.
Lewis, a perennial contender at the heavyweight limti in the Octagon, is set to make his return to action next month in Tennessee, headining the promotion’s return to Nashville as he takes on emerging divisional prospect, Tallison Teixeira.
Sidelined since he turned in another impressive knockout victory over Rodrigo Nascimento back in May of last year, Lewis would snap a losing skid following a defeats to another Brazilian foe, Jailton Almeida.
