The unbeaten 25-year-old prospect made short work of Justin Tafa in his UFC debut this past February, scoring a vicious 35-second knockout in enemy territory at UFC 312 , and now gets Lewis as his next assignment. Facing such a veteran in his second UFC appearance, shows “the organization has a ton of faith in me” and would certainly mean a giant leap in heavyweight rankings with another impressive finish.
