The final UFC card of 2021 went off with a bang. Derrick Lewis reasserted his position as one of the very best heavyweight fighters in the world today. Belal Muhammad took home a strong upset win to bring himself into the contender’s circle. And Ricky Simon got himself a spot in the bantamweight top 15.
So, is Lewis really going to stay away from five round fights for the immediate future? Even if it costs him another title shot? Is Muhammad’s callout of Kamaru Usman going to pay unexpected dividends? And is Mateusz Gamrot ready for the likes of the lightweight elite?
