Derrick Lewis isn't in danger of losing his UFC spot. “The Black Beast” suffered his third consecutive loss and fourth in his past five fights on Saturday ...

“I love the guy. “Polar Bear” has won three consecutive fights via stoppage and holds a 6-1 record over his past seven UFC appearances. Spivac’s win keeps Lewis mired in the toughest stretch of his UFC run. He made a big statement tonight.” It was a literal flawless victory for Spivac, as the 37-year-old Lewis landed zero strikes on just three attempts en route to one of the most lopsided setbacks of his 26-fight octagon career. And he got manhandled tonight.

Win or lose, Lewis has typically been competitive except with the most elite of the division. While Serghei Spivac is a good fighter – and still improving – I ...

He snapped Nakamura’s head back with a couple of his strikes, turning in the most exciting contest of the evening in the process. Marcin Tybura and Blagoy Ivanov: It wasn’t a surprise to anyone that these two heavyweights put on the most miserable fight of the evening. But he also fought the best fight he could in hopes of securing the win over the heavily favored Nakamura. To be fair to Nelson, he did have the most complete performance of his UFC career, hurting Choi a couple of times and not completely gassing down the stretch. The first one to earn a UFC contract on the evening, Park showed a real killer instinct, aggressively pursuing a finish after being put on his ass in the second round by Seung Guk Choi. Regardless, Nakamura picked up the contract and appears to have the highest ceiling of all the newcomers on this card. What put Lee over the top is he did more damage with his strikes as opposed to Yi’s emphasis on wrestling and control. Only the second fighter to step foot in the Octagon from the second most populous country in the world, Jubli had a plan and executed it to perfection. Anshul Jubli: Perhaps the most ready-made product from the Road to the UFC, Jubli fought with a maturity that you wouldn’t expect from someone from India. As to the reason for the late start, several promising talents out of Asia were crowned winners from the Road to the UFC tournament. Perhaps it was a good thing for many as perennial fan favorite Derrick Lewis suffered perhaps the most humiliating loss of his career. The first few contests were competing with Fedor Emelianenko’s retirement fight – which I have to admit I switched to myself without missing any of the UFC action – and it had a horrible time slot.

After the biggest win of his career, Serghei Spivac is more than happy to take a little time off.

He was a great champion and he’s still a great champion, in my opinion. Give me a contract, I (sign) it, and that’s it. “I don’t choose my opponents and I don’t think about (rankings),” Spivac said. My friend Misha Cirkunov showed me this triangle choke and we worked a lot for this moment. I trained a lot for this moment. Fast forward to now, and Spivac wouldn’t mind a chance to chill, even though he said he’s likely to be right back in the gym, no matter what.

Serghei Spivac made relatively short work of Derrick Lewis in a battle of heavyweights in the main event of UFC Fight Night 218 on Saturday in Las Vegas.

It will need to be a much improved display for McGregor who has just one win in the UFC since 2018.
