The UFC on Saturday calls upon finish-minded heavyweights on opposite ends of the generational spectrum when Derrick Lewis squares off with Tallison Teixeira in the five-round main event. Meanwhile, Stephen Thompson puts Gabriel Bonfim to the test in the three-round welterweight co-headliner at 170 pounds.

Lewis, 40, steps back into the spotlight on the back end of what has been a remarkable career. The New Orleans native boasts a 19-10 record across his 29 appearances inside the Octagon but has lost three of his past five bouts. Lewis has not seen action since May 11, 2024, when he put away Rodrigo Nascimento with third-round punches at UFC on ESPN 56. On the other side of the ledger, the unbeaten Teixeira has stopped all eight of his opponents inside one round. The 25-year-old Brazilian last suited up at UFC 312, where he wiped out Justin Tafa with a knee to the body and a follow-up elbow strike just 35 seconds into their Feb. 8 encounter.

Further down the main card—which kicks off at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on ESPN and ESPN+—for UFC on ESPN 70, Calvin Kattar meets Steve Garcia and Nate Landwehr faces Morgan Charriere in featherweight showcases, Vitor Petrino targets Austen Lane in a heavyweight feature and Junior Tafa sets his sights on George Tokkos in a light heavyweight attraction. A welterweight scrap matching Max Griffin with Chris Curtis anchors the prelims, which air on ESPN and stream to ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
