Tallison Teixeira’s undefeated run is no more.

Derrick Lewis more than made sure of that.

Lewis easily handled Teixeira in a matter of seconds on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville in what was his first fight in more than a year. The 40-year-old, who is the UFC’s all-time knockout leader, added another TKO to his tally when he handled the 6-foot-7 Brazilian without much of an issue whatsoever.

Though it ended up being a complete blowout, Lewis looked like he was on the wrong side of things out of the gate. He took an early blow to the face, and was spotted holding his eye while stumbling around a bit. But Lewis flipped things around immediately. He rallied and drilled Teixeira to the ground with a left-handed punch to the chin. He then threw Teixeira into the fence, landed several shots to the head and forced the early technical knockout just 35 seconds in.

Naturally, that led to a massive celebration that only Lewis could pull off in the Octagon. He ripped his shorts off, waved them around and then even briefly mooned the ESPN camera.

The loss ended what was an otherwise dominant run from Teixeira. He entered the night with a perfect 8-0 record and coming off a win over Justin Tafa via a first-round knockout at UFC 312 in February. None of his fights have actually made it out of the first round, either.

Lewis now holds a 29-12 record in his career. He has 24 wins by knockout or technical knockout, 16 of which have now come in the UFC. That’s the most in promotional history. Lewis has now won three of his past four outings, too.

While Lewis is undoubtedly nearing the end of his career, he clearly still has a lot left in him. Saturday night’s upset was proof of that.

Who is Owen Cooper, the 15-year-old Brit who just made Emmys history?published at 05:56 BST

Moment Owen Cooper becomes youngest ever male Emmy winner

With his performance in Netflix’s hard-hitting drama Adolescence, Owen Cooper, 15, has become the youngest ever male Emmy winner.

The Warrington-born actor was only 14 when the four-part British series was filmed.

Adolescence shows the aftermath of the stabbing of a teenage girl, with a 13-year-old boy from her school arrested for her murder. But what won it sweeping critical acclaim was its exploration of social media-fuelled misogyny among teenage boys.

And Cooper, who plays the young suspect Jamie, delivers what critics described as an “astonishing” and “truly remarkable performance”.

In a Netflix interview, casting director Shaheen Baig recalled seeing Owen’s improvised tape and thinking: “He looks great on camera, but also his improv was really smart. It felt very natural.”

Cooper first became interested in acting at around the age of 10. He attended weekly acting classes for two years in Didsbury, Manchester – though until Adolescence he did not have any TV or film credits to his name.

“I asked my mum and dad if I could start going to drama classes, and I think they were a bit shocked by it because I’ve always wanted to become a footballer,” he said in a Netflix interview.

Cooper broke the record previously held by Scott Jacoby, who was 16 years old when he won an Emmy in 1973 for That Certain Summer.

Key moment: It wasn’t until the 3:25 mark in the fourth quarter that a goal line was successfully crossed – and it was the Falcons who did it. Running back Tyler Allgeier scored on a 5-yard run to secure Atlanta’s victory in Minnesota. The touchdown capped off a 12-play, 83-yard drive that milked six minutes and 17 seconds off the game clock. It essentially made it impossible for the Vikings to pull off a comeback, which wasn’t the case when that drive began.

Where to watch 2025 WNBA playoffs: TV channel, live stream, bracket, schedule, scores after four games Sunday

The first day of the WNBA playoffs didn’t see any real upsets, but it was certainly not uneventful. The Minnesota Lynx and Atlanta Dream took 1-0 leads in their respective series with decisive victories at the start of Sunday’s quadruple-header. Then we got our first overtime of this postseason as the New York Liberty pulled off a win over the Phoenix Mercury, and later in the evening the Las Vegas Aces put on a defensive clinic against the Seattle Storm.

The action will resume on Tuesday with the first batch of Game 2s.

The Minnesota Lynx entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed after being the WNBA’s most dominant team throughout the 44-game regular season. The Lynx, looking for the fifth championship in team history and their first since 2017, will have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

The New York Liberty, the reigning champs, will have no such luxury as injuries and inconsistency led them to the No. 5 seed in the bracket. They are facing the Phoenix Mercury in the first round, who won’t be an easy opponent as Alyssa Thomas fights to extend her outstanding season.

Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Aces were not playing like a championship contender early on, but A’ja Wilson made a strong push for her fourth MVP award by leading her team to a 16-game winning streak to close out the regular season with the No. 2 seed. Becky Hammon’s group is chasing its third championship in four years.

The Atlanta Dream have also exceeded expectations with successful offseason moves that included the addition of star veteran players Brionna Jones and Brittney Griner. As for the Indiana Fever, they reached the playoffs last year for the first time since 2016 and are back again despite multiple injuries to key players — including 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, who only appeared in 13 games in 2025 before announcing her season was over earlier this month.

Below is a look at the first-round matchups and the full schedule for the 2025 playoffs.

The full playoff bracket was set after the action on Thursday. Here are the four first-round matchups:

No. 1 Lynx vs. No. 8 Valkyries
No. 2 Aces vs. No. 7 Storm
No. 3 Dream vs. No. 6 Fever
No. 4 Mercury vs. No. 5 Liberty

Teams will play a best-of-three series in the first round, a best-of-five series in the semifinals, and — in a new change this year — a best-of-seven affair in the Finals.

In 2024, the first round had a 2-1 format, which meant the higher seed got the first two games at home, while the lower seed only got to host if they made it to Game 3. This year it will be a 1-1-1 format, with Games 1 and 3 hosted by the higher seed while the opponent hosts Game 2.
