Derrick Lewis wants referee Dan Miragliotta to stay away from his fights from now on.
Ahead of his return against Serghei Spivac at UFC Vegas 68 on Saturday, the ‘Black Beast’ voiced concern over having Miragliotta as the third man in the Octagon, especially after the way he reffed his past two fights. He suffered back-to-back (T)KOs to Tai Tuivasa and Sergei Pavlovich, the latter of which Lewis protested immediately.
Given his past experiences with Miragliotta, Lewis told reporters at media day on Wednesday that he would prefer another referee to oversee the action between him and Spivac.
