Derrick Lewis News
Just when everyone writes Derrick Lewis off, he always surprises us by coming back and reminding us what a bomb he has in his hands. Chris Daukaus was the last to feel that, he was frozen by The Beast with his half-uppercut, and half-swing, and became the UFC record holder for the number of knockouts. Derrick Lewis is static, waiting, timing the right strike and time to attack, and as such can be an easy target for mobile fighters, such as Gane, JDS from his best days, who work a lot on movement, in-and-out, and such fighters do not they don’t fit stylistically. Proven many times over.
But Spivak is not like that, so Lewis will be able to wait for his chance to attack. And he is very awkward when he starts a frontal attack. In the fight, it will be over 120 kilos, coming towards you and throwing devastating uppercuts and uppercuts, and it’s enough for one to get through and that’s the end of the match. He uses leg techniques very little, some low kicks, as well as takedowns, he likes to do that “street boxing”. It is his static movement that allows him not to use much “fuel”, so against some tough guys, who have taken his punches, he ends the fight by decision, and these are names like Ngannou, Roy Nealson, Ilir Latifi.
However, Lewis is in a decline of form and has a series of two heavy defeats, so he must be especially careful in the match against Spivak.
Sergey Spivak News
One of the best heavyweights in Europe has the opportunity to make a breakthrough in the strongest UFC organization and join the TOP 10 fighters of the category. After his great performance against August Sakai, the UFC paired him with one of the best heavyweights of all time, the UFC record holder for the number of knockouts, Derrick Lewis.
The tactics for Spivak are very clear, avoid clinch and fight, try to send Lewis to the ground as soon as possible, try to tire him out as much as possible, and finish with ground strikes. But Lewis was never easy to bring down. However, Spivak is a top wrestler and we believe that he will be able to do it.
In the previous two matches, Spivak recorded two victories and very effectively finished Sakai and Hardy. He also has one big scalp in his UFC career, defeating Tai Tuivasa. He suffered defeats from Aspinall, Tybura, and on his debut against Walt Harris.

Derrick Lewis vs. Sergey Spivak Prediction
We expect that this match will not reach the end of the fifth round and that Spivak will win this match. Lewis was in a significant decline in form, but the damage she suffered brought problems in her late martial years. While Spivak is a young lion who is ready for great deeds.
