Lewis hung out on top in half guard, until Oleinik stood up and hit a single leg of his own. Oleinik locked up a scarf hold, but Lewis exploded out of it and back on top. He landed a barrage of punches before Oleinik reversed back into side control. Oleinik squeezed with another scarf hold, but Lewis hung tough and escaped the round. Lewis started the second round with a flying knee followed by a haymaker that floored Oleinik. Lewis pounced with a series of brutal ground strikes that knocked Oleinik silly. Eek!
