The last fight of the year was cut short in the UFC. Defeated last August by Ciryl Gane, Derrick Lewis pulverized his fellow American Chris Daukaus on Saturday in Las Vegas with a stunning first-round knockout in the main event at UFC Fight Night.
“The Black Beast” was obviously in a great hurry to go on vacation. And Chris Daukaus, a former police officer who decided to devote himself fully to MMA, could see it. Derrick Lewis only needed 3.36 to send his opponent to the mat in this heavyweight clash.
The beast had indeed been released!

Along the cage, Lewis chained the blows to the head of Daukaus, unable to get rid of the grip of the number 3 heavyweight. And with a last lightning right right in the face, “The Black Beast” extinguished the former police officer completely KO to offer himself a 5th success in his last six fights. And above all to win a 13th victory by KO. A UFC record. “I am proud to be the fighter with the most knockouts”, he commented after the meeting.
And after his loss for the belt against Gane, Derrick Lewis “would like to have another fight for the title”. While waiting to see his wish come true, he will enjoy a few days of vacation in the company of his wife.
