Francis Ngannou, Daniel Cormier, Junior Dos Santos and Mark Hunt are just a few of the legends Lewis has faced in 30-fight UFC career. 16 of those fights have ended in a knockout for Lewis, with the UFC record-holder getting his hand raised once again in the UFC Nashville headliner.
UFC Nashville showcased a mix of experienced veterans competing against rising prospects. While many fighters enjoyed positive outcomes, others faced disappointment, losing by narrow margins.
