Popular UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis admits he has his back against the wall ahead of his UFC Vegas 65 main event bout with Serghei Spivac, but is it a do-or-die fight for “The Black Beast” in terms of being a contender in the division?
MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck, Alexander K. Lee, and E. Casey Leydon discuss the stakes for Lewis in Saturday’s bout and what a win would do for the career of Spivac in the contender conversation. Topics include Ion Cutelaba’s calmer post-weigh-in faceoffs with Kennedy Nzechukwu and Jack Della Maddalena’s ceiling in the Welterweight Division, as well as the hidden bouts on Saturday.
