Derrick Lewis has always been slightly uneasy with being in the spotlight, but that’s exactly where “The Black Beast” finds himself this weekend.
Lewis returns to the Octagon in the main event of UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Teixeira in Nashville, Tennessee. But there’s no excitement or joy about being the man on the poster as he heads into his first fight of 2025.
“I don't care about being the main event and stuff like that,” he admitted.
“It'd be good to be the first fight of the night! At this point in my career, I don't care about being the main event, but I'm here, so I guess I'm happy for it!
