Video: Derrick Lewis is a bonafide UFC heavyweight contender, but what’s next?

Derrick Lewis had a big night at UFC Fight Night 185 as he crushed a fellow contender to force himself to the front of the heavyweight queue.

Lewis starched Curtis Blaydes with a huge uppercut in the main event at the UFC Apex to position himself as a bonafide contender for the heavyweight title.

Check out their discussion in the video above, and watch the full episode below.
