“I’m not trying to offend Sergei Spivak because I like this guy, but he loses to guys who are high in the rankings, and I’m not sure if he lives up to this level,” Cormier said in the latest edition of his ESPN analytical show. “So I’m leaning towards Derrick Lewis winning this fight. I think he will knock out Sergey, but it seems to me that Derrick’s days at the top of the division are numbered. He won’t be one of the best anymore.”
Recall that the heavyweight fight between Derrick Lewis and Sergey Spivak will be the main event of the UFC Fight Night 218 tournament, which will be held February 4 in Las Vegas.
