At the bottom of the post, let us know if we got it right by voting on your choice. * * * * The Nominees Derrick Lewis def. Alexander Volkov at UFC 229 Derrick Lewis (21-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC) continued his push toward a heavyweight title shot when he defeated fellow contender Alexander Volkov (30-7 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in the most dramatic of manners. After getting battered for more than two rounds, Lewis earned his ninth victory in his past 10 fights when unleashed a massive right hand that landed on the chin of Volkan and changed the course of the fight. “The Black Beast” finished the fight and as a result got a short-notice championship bout with Daniel Cormier.
