Derrick Lewis will look to earn his third straight win when he faces Aleksei Oleinik in the main event of UFC Vegas 6 this Sat. night (Aug. 8, 2020) inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Before then, lets take a trip down memory lane to see one of “Black Beast’s” most impressive performances inside the cage. In early 2018, Lewis found himself staring down Marcin Tybura at UFC Fight Night 126 in Austin, Texas.

Early on, Lewis quickly realized he had a tough fight on his hands, as Marcin absorbed several of his big bombs, even surviving a ground-and-pound onslaught in the opening frame. To his credit, Lewis also managed to survive Marcin’s top game in round one.

In round two, Lewis was looking for the home run shot, but Tybura eventually dragged Lewis down to the mat again. It was a dominant round for Tybura, who spent the majority of the five minutes piling on the punishment.

Going into the final round tied at one round a piece, Lewis knew it was kill or be killed adn leaving it to the judges is a big roll of the dice. During one of Tybura’s takedown attempts, Lewis managed to use his foes momentum against him, spinning him around and dragging him down. Upon getting up, Derrick unleashed some lethal strikes, clipping Tybura right on the chin. Once on the ground, Lewis unleashed five more unanswered shots on his foe which forced the referee to put an end to the action.

Now, “Black Beast” will look to insert himself into the championship picture with a win over one of the most seasoned veterans of the fight game who is also on a two-fight win streak.
