Off the back of a dominant wrestling and grappling performance en route to a decision shutout win over common-foe, Derrick Lewis in the main event of UFC Sao Paulo last night in his native, Brazil – surging contender, Jailton Almeida has offered to feature in a championship eliminator in his next fight, calling out former interim champion, Ciryl Gane for a clash on enemy soil in Paris.

Almeida, the current number nine ranked heavyweight contender, made his second Octagon walk in his native Brazil this year – remaining undefeated in the promotion, courtesy of a one-sided unanimous decision (50-44, 50-44, 50-45) victory against short-notice replacement and former title chaser, Lewis.

The victory came as Bahia native, Almeida native’s second in as many main event clashes, having previously taken home a one-sided first round rear-naked choke win against another common-opponent, Jairzinho Rozenstruik back in May in the main event of UFC Charlotte.

And announcing plans to sit Octagon-side next weekend in New York ahead of an interim heavyweight title fight between Sergei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall at UFC 295, Almeida suggested a number one contenders fight between himself and former interim gold holder Gane in France next.

“You know we worried; we knew he (Derrick Lewis) had a heavy hand,” Jailton Almeida told Michael Bisping during his Octagon interview after UFC Sao Paulo. “We had 15-20 days to come up with a strategy for this fight, and we were able to keep him down and avoid his right hand.”

“I was touched and I didn’t really feel it,” Jailton Almeida explained. “I’m going to call out a name here. I want Ciryl Gane. I’ll fight in Paris, we can do it in Salvador, wherever. I’m ready; let’s do it, Ciryl Gane.”

Most recently headlining the promotion’s sophomore appearance in his native Paris, former interim champion, Gane landed a hugely dominant win over Moldovan grappler, Sergei Spivak, landing a barrage of strikes on the challenger en route to a second round TKO win back in September.

Jailton Almeida Dominates Derrick Lewis, earns Decisive unanimous decision – UFC Sao Paulo Highlights

Jailton Almeida earned his 15th straight win inside the Octagon on Saturday night in the UFC Sao Paulo headliner, scoring a decisive unanimous decision victory over heavyweight knockout artist Derrick Lewis.

Fans looking to see an exciting first-round finish were left undeniably disappointed as Almeida took ‘The Black Beast’ into deep waters, riding out (literally) the 25-minute affair in complete control from bell to bell. Almeida put his world-class grappling skills to work, taking down Lewis in each round at will, and was largely content to hold position, controlling Lewis, but unwilling to offer much in the way of strikes or submission attempts.

In the opening round, Almeida nearly secured an arm triangle choke, but after Lewis successfully defended, Almeida no longer seemed interested in hunting for submissions.

In the end, it made for a bit of a snoozefest, but Almeida once again showed the world that he is perhaps the greatest grappler in the heavyweight division.

Official Result: Jailton Almeida def. Derrick Lewis via unanimous decision (50-44, 50-44, 50-45)

Derrick Lewis claims he was ‘Tricked’ into UFC Sao Paulo clash with Jailton Almeida: ‘I didn’t want to fight here’

Former undisputed and interim heavyweight championship challenger, Derrick Lewis has claimed he was “tricked” into fighting Jailton Almeida in this weekend’s UFC Fight Night headliner in Sao Paulo, Brazil – revealing he did not want to fight in the country.

Lewis, a former multiple-time title challenger under the banner of the promotion, makes his return to the Octagon this weekend in a reshuffled UFC Sao Paulo main event against the surging, Almeida, replacing an injured former foe, Curtis Blaydes.

Returning to the winner’s enclosure at UFC 291 back in July, Lewis turned in stunning opening minute stoppage win over Marcos Rogerio de Lima with a flying knee and follow-up strikes in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Derrick Lewis claims he was “tricked” into fighting in Brazil

Hitting the headlines following an arrest and subseqeunt charge for reckless driving this week, Lewis has claimed once touching down in Brazil for his fight with Almeida – how he never actually wanted to fight in Sao Paulo, and was “tricked” into the bout.

“A few weeks ago we got a call about this guy and I just agreed straight away,” Derrick Lewis told FOX Sports during a recent interview. “I didn’t know the fight was in Brazil, though. It was only after accepting that they [the UFC] told me. I’d always said to my manager I would never fight in Brazil because of the taxes being so bad. So I got tricked into accepting this fight.”

“I said I didn’t want to fight here, and since arriving, nothing has changed,” Derrick Lewis explained. “I can’t wait to go home. I’m basically fighting for them right now. I’m not getting anything out of it. By the time I pay my coaches and so on – it’s not even worth it – and that’s if I don’t get pickpocketed here. Plus, I can’t eat none of the food – I’m not trusting it, I’ll end up sick.”

Derrick Lewis Offers hilarious reaction to his reckless driving arrest: ‘That ain’t me’

UFC heavyweight fan favorite Derrick Lewis was reportedly arrested for reckless driving last month after police officers clocked him…

UFC heavyweight fan favorite Derrick Lewis was reportedly arrested for reckless driving last month after police officers clocked him going 136 mph, nearly three times the posted 50 mph limit, in a red Lamborghini.

‘The Black Beast’ was released the same day on a $100 recognizance bond. By the time the news started making it into headlines, Lewis was already in Sao Paulo, Brazil gearing up for his UFC Fight Night headliner against streaking division standout Jailton Almeida.

“I don’t even think that was me,” Lewis jokingly told reporters during the UFC Sao Paulo media event on Wednesday. “That guy had hair. You seen the picture? I don’t got no hair. That ain’t me.”

In a rather hilarious turn, the arrest report lists Lewis as having black hair (he’s bald) and weighing 215 pounds. Perhaps that argument will work in his favor when he returns to court on December 27 to face the misdemeanor charge.

Derrick Lewis Goes into UFC Sao Paulo as a Sizeable Underdog.

Until then, Lewis will look to build off the momentum he gained following his impressive first-round knockout of Marcos Rogério de Lima at UFC 291. Before that, ‘The Black Beast’ had lost four of his last five fights, all finishes.

Meeting him inside the Octagon on Saturday will be fast-rising heavyweight contender Jailton Almeida. Riding into the bout on a 14-fight win streak, ‘Malhadinho’ has finished every man he has faced under the UFC banner. As a result, Almeida is listed as a -500 favorite to get the W in his home country. Lewis currently sits as a +380 underdog.

Back in Janaury of this year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Almeida stopped common-foe, Shamil Abdurakhimov with a one-sided knockout win via second round ground strikes. With his win over the above-mentioned, Rozenstruik, Almeida improved to 19-2 as a professional to boot.

Previously challenging for both undisputed and interim heavyweight gold against Daniel Cormier, and Ciryl Gane, respectively during his lengthy Octagon run, Lewis holds a stunning 22 separate career knockout victories.

Over the course of his storied run in the heavyweight division, Lewis, 38, landed stunning wins over the likes of Gabriel Gonzaga, Travis Browne, Alexander Volkov, Curtis Blaydes, and Chris Daukaus – before his July knockout of de Lima extended his knockout record in the entire UFC to 14 stoppages via strikes.

Furthermore, Lewis became the first fighter in the Octagon to land a victory over eventual undisputed UFC heavyweight champion and recent professional boxing debutante, Francis Ngannou, albeit in a hugely forgettable monstrous heavyweight clash back in 2018.

Yet to go the distance over the course of his winning run, Almeida has landed a whopping 12 separate submission wins, to go with a further seven victories by way of knockout or technical knockout.

In each of his five triumphs inside the Octagon to boot, Almeida, who closed as a betting underdog in his Contender Series win – has closed as a betting favorite in each of his wins under the UFC banner.
