Heavyweight Derrick Lewis defeats Aleksei Oleinik via TKO in main event of UFC Fight Night

Derrick Lewis is the UFC's new heavyweight knockout king.

"The Black Beast" stopped Aleksei Oleinik via TKO at :21 of the second round Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas. With the stoppage, Lewis earned his record 11th UFC heavyweight KO/TKO, breaking a tie with former champions Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos. That KO/TKO mark also puts Lewis in a tie for second with four others for the most knockouts in UFC history.

Lewis came out of the corner in the second with a wild flying knee that landed to Oleinik's chest.
