Derrick Lewis is on the first two-fight skid of his career after falling short to former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos on Saturday in the UFC on ESPN+ 4 headliner.
After failing to capture the title from Daniel Cormier at UFC 230 this past November, Lewis (21-7 MMA, 12-5 UFC) succumbed to a second-round TKO defeat against Dos Santos (21-5 MMA, 15-4 UFC) in the main event, which took place at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan., and streamed on ESPN+.
Lewis has been the most active heavyweight on the UFC roster since joining the organization in 2014, but with consecutive losses on his resume for the first time, “The Black Beast” sits in unfamiliar territory.
What does that mean for Lewis? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on the future of the fan-favorite fighter.
