Since 2010 Derrick Lewis has been in the MMA headlines. Lewis is best known for winning the Legacy Fighting Championship heavyweight title. His dream is to get another shot at the UFC heavyweight title. Lewis had a previous chance against Daniel Cormier. However, he suffered a 2018 UFC betting loss in a second-round submission. Also is Curtis Blaydes gunning for a heavyweight title shot. With a ranking in second, he is well on his way. A loss to Lewis would derail those plans. Thus, the pressure will be on Saturday night in the heavyweight main event.
