UFC Vegas 6 in tweets: Pros react to Derrick Lewis’s knockout Aleksei Oleinik

With Derrick Lewis making the walk to the octagon at UFC Vegas 6, fans were expecting fireworks from “The Black Beast.” But standing opposite him, submission specialist Aleksei Oleinik looked to halt Lewis’ streak.

Too bad, the Houston native was having none of that as he starched his Russian counterpart with a second-round knockout.

Below is how fighters reacted to the entire night of action in Las Vegas.

How scary would that be if you got in a fight with @Thebeast_ufc at the bar and he threw that flying knee #UFCVegas6
