According to a report from ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, former UFC heavyweight title challenger Derrick Lewis is set to undergo surgery on his injured left knee next Tuesday.
Following his most recent fight, which ended in a second-round stoppage defeat to Junior Dos Santos, it was revealed that Lewis had been battling a knee injury prior to the bout. That injury was apparent in the fight, as Lewis informed Helwani that he felt his knee “go out on me” in the second round.
What’s more, however, is that it doesn’t appear as if this injury was suffered recently.
