If your're a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, there is perhaps no greater compliment than being compared to Fedor Emelianenko.
And that's just who Roy Nelson compared Derrick Lewis to ahead of their heavyweight collision at UFC Fight Night 90 on July 7, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada (details here).
As "Big Country" explained on The MMA Hour, once "The Black Beast" gets his ground-and-pound going, it's like seeing Fedor go to town on his helpless foes. Plus, the fact that Lewis is always calm, cool, and collected is just another reason why Nelson likens him to one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time
Just bigger.
