UFC Vegas 19 video recap: Derrick Lewis knocks out Curtis Blaydes in the second round

Derrick Lewis knocked out Curtis Blaydes in the second round of their main event showing at UFC Vegas 19.

What was the high point of the fight?

The first round between Lewis and Blaydes was more of a feeling out process with both men picking their shots. Blaydes was much more active than Lewis, rushing in on occasion and landing a few right hands before getting out of the range of his opponent. Blaydes had yet to shoot for a takedown at this point, but that all changed in the second round.
