It appears Derrick Lewis is prepared to make his return to action later this year.

According to a report from ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, the UFC is working on bringing “The Black Beast” back against Blagoy Ivanov at UFC 244. The action goes down from Madison Square Garden in New York City on November 2. No fights have been made official for that card as of this writing.

“Breaking: UFC is working on a bout between Derrick Lewis and Blagoy Ivanov for UFC 244 at MSG. Almost one year to the date of Lewis’ title shot against DC in the same building, and his first appearance since knee surgery earlier this year.”

Lewis is currently on a two-fight losing streak. His first defeat coming against Daniel Cormier for the heavyweight title at UFC 230. “DC” submitted the Texan in the second round. Lewis returned this past March against former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos. However, Lewis was finished in the second round via TKO.

Now, the 34-year-old seems to be getting over a severe leg injury, and is ready to return against Ivanov. Ivanov is on a two-fight win streak and has only ever lost twice in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career. The only two men to have defeated Ivanov were Alexander Volkov and Junior dos Santos – both men Lewis has already fought.

What do you think about Lewis returning against Ivanov in New York?

UFC light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker is certainly receptive to a fight with Corey Anderson.

Anderson recently called out Walker for a fight at UFC 244 in Madison Square Garden, New York on November 2.

“Wanted to dethrone the “King”, they want me to derail a train, Johnny Walker thinks he’s ready for the big leagues, time to roll out the red carpet. You want the sauce?! Meet me in the land of opportunity, NYC, MSG, Nov 2nd,” Anderson wrote on Twitter.

Walker would respond to the tweet soon after:

““Let’s dance together, and have a little fun,” he wrote back. “LHW needs a new king. ??”

It certainly looks like this fight will happen next. Walker has already spoken of Anderson as a potential opponent before, and recently posted on Instagram about fight news coming soon:

Anderson is riding a three-fight winning streak, most recently outpointing Ilir Latifi. Walker, meanwhile, is 3-0 in the UFC since debuting last year with all his wins coming via knockout.

One can imagine the winner of such a bout would undoubtedly be the next contender to challenge Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title.

Do you think this fight will happen? Who takes it?
