After all that excitement in Saudi Arabia last weekend, it’s time to return to the 4oz gloves this weekend.
On Saturday in the UFC’s latest event in Sao Paulo, Brazil, one of the organisation’s most-feared strikers, Derrick Lewis, heads to enemy territory where he will hope to snap the 14-fight winning streak owned by one of the heavyweight division’s rising stars, home country star Jailton Almeida.
In his 21 fights (19-2 overall), Almeida has been to decision just once. Lewis, thankfully, has repeatedly displayed a disinterest in employing the use of judges throughout his career, and holds an impressive record of 22 knockouts in his 27 career wins. One of those came against Curtis Blaydes a couple of years back, and you can relive that experience in the video below:
