During a night of outstanding action, there was one perplexingly bad fight on the UFC 226 card.
That, of course, was the co-main event showdown between Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou. Billed as a battle of two of the most dangerous knockout artists in the heavyweight division, the matchup quickly devolved into a timid standoff with little in the way of meaningful action.
Of the two, Lewis did more to try and force the action, and as a result, captured a unanimous verdict. Still, Lewis and Ngannou combined to land just 31 significant strikes, the second-fewest ever in a three-round bout in UFC competition.
