UFC 271: Derrick Lewis vs. Tai Tuivasa – Fight Analysis & Predictions

In the Co-main event, two big bad boys will share the octagon for 3 rounds.

Derrick Lewis is one of the most experienced heavyweights on the roster. He has most finishes in the history of the UFC heavyweight division. In his last 6 appearances, he earned 5 victories. After being defeated by Gane, he earned a massive kO victory against Chris Daukaus in the first round. He also defeated Curtis Blades in the second round. Cardio is not the best side of Black Beasts, but he earned UD victory against Ilir Latifi 2 years ago.

Tai Tuivasa is a 28 years old, rising star in the heavyweight division. He has massive bombs and has earned 6 KO victories in the UFC and 1 UD against former champion Andrei Arlovski. In his latest fight, he defeated the #11 ranked contender, Augusto Sakai, in the second round via brutal KO. He has excellent dirty boxing skills and KO power.

From my point of view, Tai is one of the futures of the UFC heavyweight division, but Derrick is too experienced to lose this fight. Under 3 rounder battle, I think 38 years old fighter will have the advantage. People say that the Black beast has power only, but he has impressive boxing skills, too, and I believe that he will earn another KO victory. Derrick’s victory has the odds of 1.5, which is pretty incredible odds.
