‘UFC Fight Night: Halifax’ medical suspensions
This past weekend in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, fight fans tuned in for an exciting night of fights headlined by a heavyweight tilt between streaking contender Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis and heavyweight veteran Travis Browne.
The fight was an extremely exciting one, with Browne nearly finishing Lewis with body kicks early in the fight, before Lewis then recovered and finished Browne via strikes in the 2nd round. In addition, former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks picked up his first win in over a year as he defeated Hector Lombard via unanimous decision, snapping a 3-fight skid that had seen him go winless over the course of 2016 and ultimately move up to middleweight.
