The UFC is heading back to its Apex facility in Enterprise, Nevada, for its next fight card, UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Spivac (also known as UFC Vegas 68). The action will go down this Saturday, February 4, with a series of intriguing matchups lined up for MMA fans.
A heavyweight showdown will take center stage this Saturday as fan-favorite Derrick Lewis locks horns with rising contender Serghei Spivac. 'The Black Beast' has been a top contender for years, with highlight-reel knockout wins over the likes of Chris Daukaus, Curtis Blaydes, and Aleksei Oleinik.
However, the Texan is coming off back-to-back stoppage defeats with his latest loss coming at the hands of Sergei Pavlovich back in July. Spivac, on the other hand, is 5-1 in his last six fights, with his only defeat in that run coming against Tom Aspinall. 'The Polar Bear' will enter the bout on the back of two straight TKO finishes and will look to carry that momentum into Saturday.
