In the main event of UFC 230, Daniel Cormier put on a wrestling clinic against Derrick Lewis to pick up a second round rear-naked choke and defend his UFC heavyweight title.

What was the high point of the fight?

Less then a minute into the first round, Cormier secured a takedown and started to work from half guard. Eventually working his way to back control, some heavy ground and pound from Cormier in the final minute of the first had Lewis covering up.

In the second round, an ankle pick from Cormier sent Lewis to the canvas again, and whilst trying to stand up in typical Derrick Lewis fashion, ‘DC’ snatched on to Lewis’ back and sunk in the rear-naked choke to finish the fight.
