AUSTIN, Texas – Marcin Tybura is coming off a loss into his meeting with Derrick Lewis on Sunday, but he’s not coming in empty-handed. Tybura faced the biggest challenge of his blooming career in November at UFC Fight Night 121, where he met Fabricio Werdum. Not only did Tybura, then riding a three-fight winning streak, get a stab at a top contender and former UFC heavyweight champion, but he got to do it in a headlining spot. Tybura, the underdog, came up short, but he still managed to  take Werdum to a decision  after five rounds. And he got to see that his still-developing skill set has room among the division’s top talent. “I was a little bit disappointed after the fight for a few days because I was expecting to win,” Tybura told MMAjunkie during a media day ahead of Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 126 event, which airs on FS1 from Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas.
