After vicious KO of Gabriel Gonzaga, Derrick Lewis wants Roy Nelson at UFC 200

The dust barely had time to settle in Zagreb, Croatia before Derrick Lewis moved on to his next challenge.

After smoking Gabriel Gonzaga with a devastating first-round knockout at UFC Fight Night 86, "The Black Beast" called out Roy Nelson for a battle between heavyweight sluggers to take place July 9 at UFC 200.

"It's a fan-friendly fight," Lewis said at Sunday's post-fight press conference. "The fans are going to love it, and it's going to be a really, really awesome fight for me and my career. And it won't go to the judges, either.
