Gallery Junior Dos Santos def. Derrick Lewis at UFC Wichita: Best photos Four years after a submission hold tore his ACL, Derrick Lewis is getting it fixed. Lewis, 34, will have surgery next Tuesday to repair a left knee injury exacerbated by his last fight earlier this month, he told MMA Junkie after an initial report from ESPN.com . En route to a second-round TKO loss against ex-champ Junior Dos Santos, Lewis (21-7 MMA, 12-5 UFC) re-injured his ACL and also tore his MCL and meniscus at UFC on ESPN+ 4. Lewis was advised not to fight by his longtime coach, Bob Perez, but “The Black Beast” refused to withdraw from the event. The setback was the final straw for the brawling heavyweight, who said his original injury came from a kneebar that Ruan Potts applied at UFC 184
