Derrick Lewis picked up a massive statement win at UFC Fight Night 105 when he battled back from adversity and scored a highlight-reel knockout over Travis Browne, cementing himself as a contender to watch in the UFC heavyweight division.
The fight-ending finish followed a harrowing opening round that saw Lewis badly hurt to the body, and while most fighters would rather win cleanly than face the kind of danger Lewis overcame, “The Black Beast” is happy with the way things played out at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Canada.
“I’m glad the fight ended up the way it was, especially the first round and everything,” Lewis said Monday on The MMA Hour.
