Meanwhile, Marcos Rogerio de Lima (21-9-1 MMA) will be looking to extend his current win streak to three in a row this evening in Salt Lake City. ‘Pezão’ is coming off wins over Andrei Arlovski and Waldo Cortes-Acosta in his two most previous efforts.

Round one of this heavyweight matchup begins and Derrick Lewis charges forward with a flying knee. Marcos Rogerio de Lima hits the canvas and ‘The Black Beast’ is all over him with punches on the ground. Big shots from the top by Lewis. De Lima is starting to turtle up here. The referee is taking a close look. Another few shots and this one is all over! Derrick records his fourteenth career KO inside of the Octagon.
