Forget that pesky pound-for-pound qualifier; Derrick Lewis is the hardest hitter in the entire UFC, full stop.
On Sunday night, Lewis took a five-fight win streak and those two engine blocks on the ends of his arms into Halifax, Nova Scotia, for the toughest fight of his pro career.
Waiting for Lewis on the other end of UFC Fight Night 105’s main event was Travis Browne, himself a hellacious hitter and one of the toughest outs in the heavyweight division. If you beat Browne, you’re good.
So how good is Lewis in a heavyweight division that desperately needs new blood at the top? Can Browne leap out of the tabloids and back into the win column after dropping his last two?
And what about the co-main event? Johny Hendricks tried to overcome his battle with the scale as a newly minted middleweight, and he tried his luck against the always-dangerous Hector Lombard.
As always, the final stat lines only tell part of the story. These are the real winners and losers from UFC Fight Night 105.
