Joe Rogan did not hold back on the quality of the UFC 226 co-main event between Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou. With much anticipation that we were about to see someone get knocked out, the fight was unbelievably dreadful even by heavyweight standards, and Rogan declared it the worst heavyweight bout ever. I’m sure fans are clamoring to re-watch Tim Sylvia vs. Andrei Arlovski 3 to see if that statement holds up.
Anyway, Lewis won by unanimous decision, doing so despite re-aggravating his back problems. If he’s to be forgiven for not throwing a lot due to his compromised health, then no one knows what in the world Ngannou was doing.
