This is the UFC 271 live blog for Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa that serves as the co-main event at the Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday night. It will be a heavyweight contest.
Lewis, the No. 4 heavyweight in MMA Fighting’s Global Rankings, is one of MMA’s preeminent knockout artists, owning the record for most knockouts in UFC history with 13. Lewis has had a busy 2021, knocking out Curtis Blaydes in February only to lose an interim heavyweight title bout against Ciryl Gane, a fight that also took place in Lewis’ hometown of Houston. The Black Beast was able recover from the disappointing fight with Chris Daukaus in December.
Tuivasa, meanwhile, is on the best run of his UFC career. “The King of the Shoey” has won four fights in a row, all by knockout, taking out Stefan Struve, Harry Hunsucker, Greg Hardy, and Augusto Sakai.
