Dana White tried to build a last hype for the UFC Nashville Card on Saturday.
This Saturday the Premier Promotion will return to Tennessee for UFC Nashville, with the head of heavyweight contenders Derrick Lewis and Tallison Teixeira.
Prior to his fight, Lewis caused concern among fans that he would miss the weight after he admitted that he had eaten enough calories for a family of four.
Although, when he weighed last Friday, 'The Black Beast' came to his lowest weight within 11 years when he showed a glimpse of ABS while he posed on the scale.

Dana White emphasizes two fights that go under the radar
Because it is just a fighting evening card, fans are not happy with the fact that it is not fully stacked from top to bottom.
In the Co-Main event, one of the most exciting strikers in the UFC history returns to the Octagon as Stephen Thompson bumps into Gabriel Bonfim.
And in an attempt to shine a light on some of the lesser -known fights on the map, UFC boss Dana White went to social media to mark a few fans who may go under the radar.
“A few fights that you may not know.
“Junior is confronted with Tuco Tokkos, he is an athlete who is very familiar with killing people, eight of his 10 victories have come through Finishes with six by Knock -Out, I look forward to a very violent and fun fight,” he continued.
“Calvin Kattar vs Steve Garcia. Kattar has been fighting only the best competition for years, he is a large part, all hands … Garcia has had an absolute tear that got him a shot on a top 15 -man … we will see if he has a song by his name after this fight,” emphasized White.

Although this is something that the UFC boss does for every fight card, one fan was not fully sold by White's Spiel and said, “Seriously Dana trying to sell a fighting evening … (dead).”
Instead of biting his tongue, White replied: “You don't sell anything. Let you know what you didn't know.”
Fans remain hopeful that, despite the fact that the card is not the strongest on paper, it is possible that some blockbuster finishes set up an incredible UFC 318 on July 19.
