Derrick Lewis is among the most popular names on the UFC betting board. And he holds the UFC record for most knockout wins (13). Lewis has had two shots at the UFC heavyweight championship, losing both attempts. First came a 2nd-round knockout loss to Daniel Cormier in 2018. And then he lost a 3rd-round technical knockout to Ciryl Gane in 2021. Lewis has not given up on his goal of winning the UFC heavyweight championship. On Saturday night, he will continue that quest against Serghei Spivac. Overall, there are five bouts on the main card.
