Business has been picking up in the heavyweight ranks over the last several weeks as we close in on the trilogy fight between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier, and this week’s main event should further clarify how things will stack up in the division once the dust settles after UFC 252.
Lewis has gone 2-0 since returning from a long-overdue surgical procedure on his knee following his loss to Junior Dos Santos, registering decision wins over Blagoy Ivanov and Ilir Latifi to solidify his place in the Top 5.
Between remedying the knee issues that caused many of his back issues and making a greater commitment to his diet and conditioning than ever before, there is a real possibility that we’ll see the best version of Lewis yet on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
