There weren't many surprises for Derrick Lewis when it came the approach of Daniel Cormier at UFC 230.
Nonetheless, “The Black Beast” appeared powerless to stop the wrestling of his opponent, as he was taken down repeatedly en route to a second round submission defeat in Saturday’s headliner at Madison Square Garden in New York. Lewis had a fleeting moment of success during a brief standup exchange in the second stanza — Cormier acknowledged that he felt his opponent’s power — but it wasn’t enough to prevent the reigning heavyweight champion from imposing his will.
