The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to make a comeback to St. Louis, Missouri, marking its first visit to the city since 2018. Headlining the event is a highly anticipated heavyweight bout between fan favorite and No. 12 ranked contender Derrick Lewis, and the No. 15 ranked Rodrigo Nascimento.
Lewis, with an impressive record of 14 knockouts in the promotion, hails from Houston, Texas, and is aiming to add another highlight-reel finish to his resume against Nascimento. Lewis has thrilled fans with memorable victories over Curtis Blaydes, Alexander Volkov and Marcos Rogerio de Lima, and he's determined to break back into the Top 10 with a win in this showdown.
Nascimento, a signee from season three of Dana White's Contender Series, is coming off a three-fight win streak, including notable victories over Tanner Boser, Ilir Latifi, and Don'Tale Mayes. Fighting out of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Nascimento sees this bout as a career-defining opportunity to make his mark in the heavyweight division.
