In the main event of UFC 230, two-division champion Daniel Cormier defended his heavyweight title in unsurprisingly dominant fashion, as he took down fan-favorite Derrick Lewis several times, with the last one leading to a rear-naked choke finish in round two. Lewis was always a massive underdog, and that miracle KO did not come to fruition, as the gulf in skill was just way too wide. If things break his way, then next up is a showdown with Brock Lesnar in 2019, of which March 20th (his 40th birthday) will be his planned retirement date.
Lewis threw the first strike, landing a switch kick to the body.
