The best and worst from UFC Fight Night 126

#2 Best: Derrick Lewis in general

Derrick Lewis remains supremely entertaining both in the fight and on the mic

While he’ll probably never develop into a title contender due to some holes in his game, Derrick Lewis remains one of the most fun fighters on the UFC roster to watch. Last night he arguably gave away two rounds to Marcin Tybura due to his negligible ground game and gas tank, but as always with Lewis, his insane power is the ultimate equaliser in the Octagon.

Tybura looked to be on his way to a decision win, but a quick-fire combination from Lewis late in the third round stunned him and a few punches later and it was lights out for the Polish fighter. The Black Beast stole a victory from the jaws of defeat again, as he’d done previously against Travis Browne and Shamil Abdurakhimov.

Perhaps the most entertaining thing was his post-fight interview, though – Lewis slurred his way through a promo about how Texans hit hard before promising to “go deep” with his wife later in the night. It was a show of personality that’s seemingly become rare in today’s UFC, and it’s why a fighter like Lewis will always draw fans to him. He simply provides something different – and brilliant to watch.
