Fight Preview
Derrick Lewis is the UFC record-holder for the most wins by knockout/technical knockout with 15. Overall, he’s got 23 wins by this method, along with four wins by decision and one by submission. When it comes to his losses, seven happened by KO/TKO, three by decision, and two by submission.
Three years ago, he got a chance to fight for the interim title but lost to Cyril Gane. Since then, he’s turned into a gatekeeper of the heavyweight division. He probably won’t get another shot at the title, but he’ll serve as security that decides who gets in.
In his most recent fight, he denied entry to the VIP heavyweight club to Rodrigo Nascimento, beating him by a TKO. Is he going to do something similar to Jhonata Diniz?

Derrick Lewis vs. Jhonata Diniz Prediction
Diniz has amazing leg kicks, and is very fast, which makes him very tough to hit. But if Lewis hits him properly, it’s game over for the Brazilian. So, will this happen? It might, but we think the other alternative is more likely to happen – Diniz out-striking Lewis and winning by decision.
