Madison Square Garden will host UFC 230 this evening (Nov. 3, 2018) as Daniel Cormier Defends his heavyweight title against Derrick Lewis, we have you covered with all the results.
To say that matchmakers had some challenges putting together UFC 230 would be an understatement. It seemed every other day there was a change to the co-main event or the main event. Hurdles abound, Dana White and the boys (Sean Shelby & Mick Maynard) managed to put together a pretty compelling night of fights for the New York fans.
The most compelling of all is by far the main event of the evening, as “DC” takes on “The Black Beast” just 28 days removed from his knock out of Alexander Volkov at UFC 229.
If Cormier defends the heavyweight title at UFC 230 he will become the first person in company history to defend each of his two titles during his simultaneous reign. Many have discounted Lewis as a serious threat to “DC’s” title, however, the double champ isn’t looking past a deserving Lewis.
This opportunity may have come via a hilarious post-fight interview with Joe Rogan but “The Black Beast” has won nine of his last ten fights; that’s in the UFC’s heavyweight division, that’s basically unheard of. All Lewis needs to do is land one punch on the button and down goes “DC”.
The fighters exchange leg kicks, Lewis gets the better. He then goes to the head with a kick but Cormier blocks it. DC closes the distance and gets a takedown fairly easy. Cormier is on top landing some decent ground and pound. Lewis just stands up and gets to his feet. Cormier drags Lewis to the ground with a single leg. Cormier opens up with some hard ground and pound. Lewis trying to get to his feet again but DC is landing some strikes.
Lewis opens up the second round with a combo and then a switch kick. Cormier backs him up to the cage and flips him to the canvas. Lewis again just stands up. DC drags Lewis down with a front headlock and picks his ankle. Cormier locks in the RNC and Lewis promptly taps.

Let the shenanigans begin.
Derrick Lewis will get his first shot at the UFC heavyweight title next month (Sat. November 3, 2018). “The Black Beast” challenges heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in the main event of the UFC 230 pay-per-view (PPV) from Madison Square Garden.
Lewis is nothing short of highly entertaining, and he proved that with his recent “promo” for the fight that he posted on his Instagram. Lewis shared a hilarious video montage to hype his fight with Cormier, featuring some footage of them exchanging words at a press conference this past summer.
Check out the video here:
News of Cormier vs. Lewis really threw the mixed martial arts (MMA) community for a loop. There was a ton of controversy surrounding the UFC 230 main event. Initially, a main event wasn’t announced for the card, with only a high-profile co-main event named.
Nate Diaz and Dustin Poirier were penciled in for a lightweight match-up. However, it was recently announced Poirier suffered an injury and was forced to withdraw from the contest. Diaz pulled from the event soon after that. The UFC also had announced that a women’s flyweight title fight would main event the Madison Square Garden card.
Valentina Shevchenko and Sijara Eubanks were initially given the nod for the coveted main event slot. However, the UFC was able to put together a last-second jaw-dropper for fight fans. It was announced UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier would take on knockout artist Derrick Lewis in the night’s main event.
Lewis is coming off a hard-fought victory from this past weekend (Sat. October 6, 2018) at UFC 229. After getting dominated for three rounds, and almost certain to lose on the judges’ scorecards, Lewis pulled off a miraculous Hail Mary victory. With seconds left in the fight, Lewis uncorked a devastating overhand on Alexander Volkov.
The Russian was dropped to the mat and Lewis poured on the ground-and-pound for the stoppage win. The victory was enough to earn him a post-fight bonus, and a UFC heavyweight title opportunity because of it. Albeit, an opportunity much sooner than he expected due to the short-notice nature of the fight.
But a title shot nonetheless, and now Lewis is promoting the fight like only he can as a result.

Last night’s (Sat., October 6, 2018) UFC 229 is in the books from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. From knockouts to come-from-behind wins, the night lived up to lofty expectations. With so many heart-stopping moments and unexpected fiascos, it’s inevitably going to result in a mix of water cooler talk on Monday morning.
From Conor McGregor tapping out again, to the unbelievable comeback and heart of Derrick Lewis, to the unfortunate brawl after the awaited main event, UFC 229 was just one hell of a night.
Here are LowkickMMA’s eight biggest takeaways from the absolutely out-of-control UFC 229.
By all accounts, UFC 229 was the biggest and most-watched fight card in company history. Yet Khabib Nurmagomedov decided to act a fool.
It’s a shame that such a masterful performance will be marred in controversy. But unfortunately that’s the situation with Khabib, and the sport of MMA finds itself in. What was he thinking as he scaled the cage and dove at Dillon Danis?
UFC President Dana White was noticeably subdued during the post-fight press conference when he explained that he doesn’t know what the future holds for the unbeaten champion. Several media members asked White if Khabib would be stripped of his lightweight title.
White chose his words carefully while addressing Khabib but did reveal that the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) is going to most likely slam the Dagestani for this actions on Saturday night.
Making matters worse for Khabib, Nevada’s governor was in attendance for UFC 229. Per White, the governor went running for his life when the brawl broke out. The governor oversees the athletic commission. That can’t bode well for the Dagestani.
