Derrick Lewis got back into the win column in a big way at UFC 291.
Lewis, who came up short in his last three outings, was determined to make a statement on Saturday night. ‘The Black Beast’ did exactly that, scoring a sub-one-minute TKO against Marcos Rogerio de Lima.
As soon as the bell rang, Lewis sprinted across the Octagon and took a page out of Jorge Masvidal’s book, throwing a brilliantly placed flying knee that knocked de Lima to the canvas. Lewis pounced on his opponent and unleashed a flurry of ground-and-pound strikes.
