Last night (Sat. November 3, 2018) the UFC made their return to Madison Square Garden for UFC 230.

Opening up the main card of the show was a pivotal middleweight bout. Rising 185-pound star Israel Adesanya made quick work of Derek Brunson. Adesanya was able to knock Brunson out late in the first round, a finish worthy of a Performance Of The Night bonus worth an extra $50,000.

Also, yet another middleweight contender emerged on the main card. Jared Cannonier knocked out top-ranked middleweight David Branch. His second-round knockout not only put him on the map at 185-pounds, but earned him a $50,000 Performance Of The Night bonus.

And finally, in the co-main event of the night, Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza locked horns with former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman. Weidman looked like he was well on his way to winning the contest, however, the Brazilian pulled one out the hat with a last-minute knockout shot.

Weidman and Souza’s clash was an absolute classic and was good enough for Fight Of The Night honors. They will each go home with an extra $50,000.

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”.

Round One

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.

Round Two

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.

  •  Daniel Cormier defeats Derrick Lewis via submission (RNC) at 2:14 of round two
