foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] UFC title fight and the interim Heavyweight Championship is on the line here in Derrick Lewis’s backyard Seattle gone trying to break through for France you ready sir let’s go and this Championship main event is upon us to seal of gone out of the South Boston blue Derrick Lewis the Orthodox fighter is in Black I mean these are two big dudes and the moment they start to come together man this place is going to explode nearly 17 000 strong being heard from early in this one oh Lewis goes High slips gone greats him with the right hand God looks calm very calm here already is a difference right against Curtis blades in the small lock the gun Derek refused to go backwards and get pinned against the Octagon because of his takedown but with guns he’s almost inviting him in to let him come close so he can try to let his punches go Lewis given a southpaw look here to gone kicks the body oh God more than willing to take his time by his time God likes to throw that poke to the knee and then set his foot down and follow with his hands right after he lands that that knee attack gets you kind of thinking about the leg and then he follows it it’s so fast man that is the issue that a lot of these guys are having problems with he’s such a great athlete right that he’s in and out before they can return these big strong hard-hitting heavyweights are having difficult time catching up to him look at him poking at Derrick Lewis right there three four different kicks and then he just goes in and out before Derek can even load up his Punch To Go very light on his feet like he’s jumping rope everywhere he goes just fluent and now you see Derek trying to go forward and Derek’s not to take some risk right he’s not to take a few so that he can give one because ultimately for Derrick Lewis it’s about getting one off and then you might knock him out Lewis has always been fairly measured though in round one in his career a lot of second round finishes but that’s smart by gun the crowd might not like it but very smart by Cyril understanding that the danger was imminent there as Derek started to change level and load up that big right hand there’s a state kick range keep poking at him like that make the big man try to find you and chase you and then just take your time if you’re gone just like he’s doing keep eating at him poking his legs poking his belly stay on the outside because it’s harder for Derek Lewis to get to that range where gun is at not going to out put him he’s gonna try to land the big ones he won’t try to keep up with the output of Cyril but here’s the problem right you can get Derrick Lewis tire and if Zero’s two patient too calm that power carries so far into the fight three minutes have gone by Derrick Lewis has yet to land a strike has only thrown two thank you that body shot should get him a notch in that column [Music] DC looking over to make sure those stingy statisticians gave him one they did I’m just kidding guys love you took us 13 fights to get a growing shot tonight yeah right we’ve been good we’ve been lucky right on the button as many of you know Seattle gone will have five minutes to recover here I know he’s tall but you either got to go lower or higher right I said I know he’s cool but you got to either go lower or higher you can’t go straight into one like that right but you okay huh let’s go you all ready time keep it ready Fighters ready Derek you ready time and fight [Applause] back on her way coming up on 90 seconds round one [Applause] [Applause] look at how quickly he got that left leg up there man hey he’s fast he’s just double the speed Derek needs to get close get into the clinch and just start to let those hands go [Applause] it’s just funny because it’s like crazy like you just you gotta Dodge that he ran away yeah and that’s the exact defense he needed to employ we’ve seen Derek struggle with those kicks up the middle before Junior dos Santos constantly poked him at the body yeah another body kick lands are gone [Applause] [Music] he left ear of Lewis oh my goodness not a big old kick oh nice down Lewis didn’t like that one dispute from Lewis they said they both landed punches poked each other and I with a punch that was a nasty jab by syrup it did not look like an iPhone from either one of them [Applause] five minutes in the camp great punched by Cyril a little bit of an eye poke by Derek Lewis but that was a nasty jab by Cyril gone so that I poke still affecting Seattle gone still trying to rub it out a little bit second round ready let’s go gentlemen and Bob Perez with some pointed advice in the corner of his longtime pupil Derrick Lewis they even want him to faint some level changes Dom as well they want faint level changes in forward pressure and clearly Derrick Lewis wants to but as you can see gone switching out he can’t just he doesn’t want to just move forward for a reason there’s something he’s seeing for gun that’s throwing him off and it’s probably his speed I would imagine and power like that that’s fighting hard man it’s not like Cyril’s just touching him he’s blasting him and guess what else right the last time Derek Lewis saw a heavyweight like this right a guy that was supposed to have knockout power it was Francis and his power is what deterred Francis from letting his hands go surigan is showing no hesitation in his approach so that itself may even pause there he’s not showing him that respect that Derek usually earns from his opponents he’s right in his face [Music] and for civil gone plan a seems to be working out [Applause] I’m going to come by round two four rounds is a long time yeah there’s a lot of fight left [Applause] [Music] [Applause] one thing that Khan is not doing to Lewis is putting a crazy Pace though he’s Landing more but the pace isn’t super high to make Derrick Lewis tired I think Derek got him again whenever he’s trying to extend his arms to evade might have poked him a little bit again no no that’s intentional [Applause] yeah I look like a swipe we gotta look at it in our isolation monitor [Applause] but you’re right Cruz it’s not like he’s putting a crazy high Pace on Derrick Lewis will be able to do this for 25 minutes yep so he’s got a chance the whole fight it’s gone fights in this way but he’s fighting smart guys just fighting smart and Donald and their keep his power the whole time yep if he’s fighting at this pace but at this range for gone the the power is not as threatening because he’s leading every single thing right every interaction it’s led by Cyril not it’s also not going for the same thing every time now there’s a jump me out of nowhere he’s been throwing late kicks he’s been throwing Jabs so he mixes it up well too this is not this is not where you want to be especially for your backs against defense because Derek will start to let his hands go gone seems to have the strength advantage in these clintons I mean I I think also more technical right he has a better understanding of these clinch positions now he lands that big knee right there and look at him just swinging those knees open the hip Drive the knee down into the five underhook control the far side wrist and head position so by keeping the right side on the hook head on the opposite side control the wrist on the far side he is not controlling both sides of Derrick Lewis’s body under two minutes here to go in round two no denying that Derrick Lewis has felt the pressure all week a lot of us have not seen him of that disposition Daniel um hard to quantify if that has been a factor to the slow start because Lewis has been measured early in fights it’s hard right John because I know how hard it was for me when I was fighting in Houston and I lived three hours away dealing with family trying to come to the fight Derek is dealing with that just in town so maybe as the fight goes he’ll work his way into letting himself letting himself go a little bit more but as of right now Cyril gone is way ahead to start this fight well you’ve got nothing to lose when you’re serious yeah I mean you do you got a mark on your record but you’re undefeated and you’re not in your hometown everybody expects you to lose because you’re not the favorite so you’re nine fights into your career right you’re already nine the only nine fights in right you’re fighting for the heavyweight championship in the world this is a big big situation for him and very rarely do we have a guy that wins the title uh when he’s finally getting into 10 fights I can’t remember anybody different than Kane Velazquez when he beat Brock might have had 10 fights well the big difference dc2 is the amateur he’s got the amateur record he’s got the Muay Thai record so he’s actually got 22 fights he does not have 10 and that’s what’s different these guys that are coming in with 10 Pro fights actually half the time have 10 amateur fights they’re actually 20 in them whereas the early days it was your record was your record there was no amateur leak so everybody’s better now yeah he’s good Derrick Lewis two for 17 on his significant strike attempts on the other side Seattle gone has landed 62 percent of his significant strikes near 70 percent overall Lewis going back to the well with that switch kick unable to land that footwork is what’s throwing off everything because Derek Lewis needs to be able to set his feet to land and surreal is not letting that happen [Applause] so Derrick Lewis after round one was unable to heed the advice of Bob Perez and Joe Murphy whom they have called The Missing Piece By the way in terms of their grappling execution but uh we’ll see D.C if he’s got anything here early round three [Music] [Applause] well they need him to him they need him to stop backing up they understand that Cyril’s controlling all the rage all the exchanges everything they go through it’s on his terms Derek’s got to find a way to change that it’s that uh athleticism is killing them man they’re not used to seeing that you leg kick lands for gone Derek hasn’t checked one of those yet not one turned his foot out on that one now the right hand lands and I mean Don just keeps switching stances it’s a lot of looks [Music] [Applause] he just moves so well for a big guy it really is a sight to behold and this crowd just sort of waiting with baited breath just to have some moment to respond to for their guy delu but they understand that it only takes one it only takes one for Derrick Lewis to blow the roof off this place the smartest thing about that is that God’s taking out his lead leg so what’s the best way to take away a right hand it’s attacked the right hand or attack the lead leg that you have to put your pressure on in order to land it and that’s what God’s doing see each time he eats those leg kicks taking a little bit of that sting off that right hand just a little you see it right Bob Perez said every time you faint he reacts so throw a fate and let your right hand go but Derek’s got to cut off Cyril he’s got to take a step to the left right now just take a step he’s following him right there’s always an exit route for Cyril gone you gotta follow him a slight step off in the direction that he’s going will help you the crowd’s just deflated to this point they’re ready to pop they’re all on the edge of their seats but right now zero gone is not giving them an opportunity to involve themselves and ha and help to carry Derrick Lewis through this championship fight he has effectively muted these masses with his footwork his movement his accuracy 36-38 on the leg strikes lead him with an elbow there just missed who’s in deep on that body lot couldn’t quite get it and just watching you know you see how well-rounded this guy is I mean he’s not uncomfortable in the clinch he’s putting his hands in the right spots when he’s in the game she knows how to escape and stay safe so you’re not getting punched he twists you at the right time I mean he’s making the safe moves he’s fighting extremely smart and gone and it’s keeping Derek Lewis on the outside where he can’t do anything and just keep getting poked [Applause] it’s very difficult for Derek to get going because like you said Dominique goals Don will just hit him with that little sidekick to the front of his knee to slow him down and those leg kicks are crushing they’re adding up now now can’t keep eating those yeah gun’s starting to get confident yeah there’s an uppercut from God and now a left hand and that leg is compromised on the goal we took out the left and went for the and then went for the Finish after the leg was taken out Lewis went for a counter right unable to land Dan Mark Liotta giving him a lot of chances to survive as gun lands an uppercut but this is where Lewis will try to set you up there it is oh big right hook oh his legs beat oh big knee from Seattle gone Lewis covers up watch Lewis throw here [Applause] whoa wow Dan Murphy that is that’s the action to get Derrick Lewis’s mouthpiece oh man that one landed too that kick landed right on the chin but that’s when Derek tries to get you coming in see that oh it just looks like it could be the end right here that’s it it’s over now oh champion gone hey interim UFC heavyweight champion Total Domination on the road tonight Big John he’s a problem John he’s a problem for him all outside kick right because he makes you find a range he just beats you down making you fight a technical fight heavyweights won a brawl Derrick Lewis wants to brawl he never got a chance for Cyril gone literally just out clastic there was the jabbing look at that uppercut left hook even going into the fire whenever you know Derek’s gonna start to throw back siragon went in there and just dominated Derrick Lewis dude this was impressive he’s a real problem the last time we saw a heavyweight with these kind of kickboxing skills was rosenstrike and guess who beat rosenstrike so here we are this man is up there he belongs here he’s proved it again he took out Derrick Lewis which is no easy task in his hometown this man’s ready for a title that’s all there is to it [Applause] what a performance from Seattle gone thrill on one side Agony On the other of course Derrick Lewis just unable to get things going tonight and certainly the referee danmargliata gave him every benefit of every doubt to try to stay in this fight but it seemed as though there was one leg kick that sort of took out the leg and that was the beginning of the end for the black beast Eric Lewis whom you know will be back and you can’t effectively Chronicle the history of This heavyweight division without talking about this man and his knockout prowess but still gone is the real deal and that probably doesn’t even begin to describe it one final time tonight here’s Bruce Buffett ladies and gentlemen roughly Dan merguliata has called a stop to this contest at four minutes 11 seconds of round number three declaring the winner by TKO and interim see heavyweight champion of the world cereal
