UFC Fight Night 105 went down tonight (Sunday, February 19, 2017) from the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The main event saw top-ten heavyweights duke it out, as Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis locked horns with Travis “Hapa” Browne.

Browne had a great deal of success with body kicks right out of the gate, hurting Lewis with his first snapping front kick to the gut. Lewis dropped his hands and grimaced on multiple occasions as Browne continued to work the body. He even had to turn his back on several occasions. Browne stayed patient and didn’t charge in for the finish. That ultimately proved his undoing.

Lewis wouldn’t concede kicking range in round two. At the first opportunity, he turned Browne onto the fence and unloaded with a barrage of haymakers. Browne survived but gave up a couple takedowns as he tried to escape close-range fight. After the second takedown, Browne once again got to his feet but was met with more bombs from “The Black Beast”. Browne hit the deck, and Lewis made sure he stayed there, putting him to sleep with one final salvo of cinder-block fists. And as has become his custom, Lewis delivered a gem of a post-fight speech.

In the co-headliner, the newest member of the middleweight division, Johny Hendricks, took on Hector Lombard. Hendricks was able to eke out a back and forth fight with the scarily powerful Lombard. Though he couldn’t get his wrestling going, step-in knees and volumes of leg kicks and punches outscored Lombard’s power punches. An elated Hendricks began his middleweight tenure with a much-needed win.

Derrick Lewis Knocks Out Travis Browne In Brutally Late Stoppage Win

It looked like fight fans were headed for a guaranteed KO when heavyweight power hitters Derrick Lewis and Travis Browne met in the main event of tonight’s (Feb. 19, 2017) UFC Fight Night 105 from the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The two ultra-dangerous heavyweights were at completely different places in their respective careers, however, as “The Black Beast’” was enjoying the momentum and confidence of a five-fight win streak containing four T/KOs.

Browne, on the other hand, needed a victory arguably more than he ever had in his MMA career, as the once-feared knockout artist had dropped four out of his previous six bouts following his decision to leave Albuquerque’s Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA to train with Edmond Tarverdyan in Glendale, California. Tarverdyan did not corner “Hapa” for this fight.

But it didn’t matter, as fans got just what they expected in the main event.

Round One:

Lewis came out swinging. Browne snapped a leg kick and a front kick that nearly landed, keeping his distance from “The Black Beast.” Browne missed with a left hand and cut angles, appearing to hurt Lewis with a sharp body kick or even a hand injury. Lewis threw an ill-advised spin kick that missed, following with a jumping switch kick.

Lewis then landed a huge right hand counter off of a kick from Browne, following with a few more punches. Browne fought back with another body shot that rocked Lewis, but he recovered for the time being. A low kick landed from Browne, and he pressed the action with another followed by a straight left.

The two men traded low kicks as Lewis threw yet another spinning wheel kick but Browne remained patient. Lewis landed a combo of hard punches to close the first round.

Round Two:

“Hapa” came out fast in the second, walking Lewis down against the cage and throwing more body and low kicks. Lewis missed some shots and Browne missed a Superman punch. Brown went for a high kick, but Lewis countered with a flurry of huge shots, hurting Browne and having him in big trouble.

Uppercuts came from “The Black Beast” and a flurry unloaded,  but somehow Browne survived to clinch. He went for a takedown but Lewis anded right on top of him, bludgeoning and ragdollling Browne to the mat. Punches came down but Browne got back up. Lewis floored him with a big left hook and a right to the skull and started unloading nonstop power strikes on Browne, and it was a surprise that referee Mario Yamasaki allowed the brutal beating to continue as long as it did as Browne laid unconscious on the ground.

Official Result: Derrick Lewis def. Travis Browne via R2 TKO (punches, 3:12)
