Relive some of the most exciting exchanges and moments from UFC 283: Teixeira vs Hill + Figueiredo vs Moreno 4 this past …
all right gentlemen we’ve been over the rules protect yourself at all times follow my instructions we’re going to keep it clean touch gloves let’s do it Curtis blades the heavy favorite in this matchup he has never been an underdog in his entire Pro fight career he has been fed up to minus 450 but beware Derrick Lewis plus 350 as the underdog rare you’re gonna get a spot of him in that range we are underway for five possible rounds Brendan let me ask you a question over or under 30 seconds before Curtis blade shoots yeah I was gonna say under well I’m gonna say over just because of that but that is the clear path to Victory we spoke to him and I said obviously you saw the way that Daniel Cormier beat Derry Lewis oh my God look at that one shot from Derrick Lewis can put you to sleep it doesn’t matter how big you are I lost the bet I think he tried though he tried but he got stopped in his tracks that’s nothing new I mean that sends a message as well to Curtis that he has to be careful on those injuries I was talking to Rashad Evans before he said the problem is Curtis sometimes on his entries can get a little sloppy sorry to throw you under a bus driver shot my body I only realized it after I said it but still we’ve got to enter perfectly certainly against the guy like Lewis because the stakes are so high foreign and the beauty of throwing an uppercut to defend the takedown rather than a knee oh yeah is that he’s just getting the underhog if you missed the uppercut the underhooks right there right Cross by Blaze appeared to find a home center we gotta go [Music] as he darts in and out stays on the outside of that lead leg you know one thing to mention that we never mentioned so far is the speed of Lewis you know we talk about his power but also the speed is incredible I mean for such a big man to throw hands as fast as he does I mean it’s so impressive of course that’s partly why it’s so powerful as well and so we never touched on that and his hands are they’re allow lightning oh it was head kicked interception Lewis throw a flying knee every once in a while he’ll get off he’ll get airborne about halfway through the round let’s go hips are there when you’re ready for Curtis blades I mean he kind of outlined the game plan for him he believed he’d be able to walk him down and get to his hips but you Derrick Lewis would be content to Counter-Strike but there’s no strike to counter off so far here’s a heavy one big right from Blades yeah that’s how I did [Music] nice see this is what Curtis has to do you know Derek knows the game plan he knows he’s going to shoot so he’s going to take his time he’s going to get in and out use the jab pop the jab step out of the way when Derek Luke throws a big bomb and then back it with the right and then pick him apart like that break him down make him think hold on he’s not gonna wrestle he’s actually gonna just try and strive with me and then that’s when you shoot you know right now there’s no elements of surprise Derek knows okay you’re a wrestler eh you’re gonna try and take me down okay I’m gonna plant my feet and swing like a maniac when you close the distance that’s where you’re gonna mix it up keep him guessing come forward 90 seconds to go round one blade still giving Lewis a lot to think about in terms of his movement [Music] Lewis punching his way back to the center Counter-Strike from plates that’s it that’s a nice work kicks the leg heavy one very very nice that puts him in control of this round without question foreign [Music] now you know Derek has a habit of playing possum sometimes pretending that he’s her and then unleashing with a devastating blow when the opponent gets a little too confident oh heavy Lake that cake Lake cake got it dwelling on that left leg of Derrick Lewis he’ll be those licks oh left cross places together oh and there’s an eye and eye poke oh which blades acknowledges on his way as he retreats so just a few seconds left in the round take another look yeah oh yeah I think it was the thumb it was an open slap there from Blades give him a slap and then I think the film went in the eye come on SO Lewis come here ready to go out of you guys watch your fingers you and you watch your fingers bye five more seconds you tell him herb oh good job one more exchange so here’s Derek Lewis swinging the power that is known for that’s not Curtis plays backwards but then as the round went on it was Curtis and started Landing with more frequency in and out movement a couple of good leg kicks and they actually had Derrick her a couple of occasions as well flying knee just for fun and a nice elbow to finish off four cards given Derek uh excuse me Curtis Blade’s credit for one takedown attempt but never really chased it no no keep your fingers up don’t do this anchors up let’s go Erb Dean laying it down taking control Hey listen that’s what you got to do oh wait it’s wasting no time there it is there’s the underhog Let It Go for a single leg nicely defended by Lewis very very nice that is huge in this fight things heating up in there around two excellent yeah but there’s going to be careful he’s not only defending takedowns he’s going to defend the strikes because Curtis plays as we saw though unsuccessful with the takedown but on the exit landed some very decent shots some significant blows significant strikes 27-3 for Blaze as we showed you there house appeared to land heavy early in that round that was a slap it wasn’t a poke keep fighting yeah this isn’t good for Derek there you know you you can’t be too concerned with the referee and trying to get him involved in the fight these guys have been on each other’s radar for quite a while do you believe it Derrick Lewis with a knockout he’s got a dozen tied for the most in UFC history none bigger than knocking out number two in Vegas tonight Curry shoots in he sees it boom on the chin that was it delayed reaction he falls down one two heavy shots mod so impressive or pick up to the Dome to the chin he was unconscious there he was already unconscious and then three extra heavy heavy blows one two tonight belongs to Derry Lewis I mean once again that power it is such an equalizer send it back inside the Octagon one final time tonight to Joe Martinez ladies and gentlemen comes at the official time one minute 26 seconds round number two where you have your winner by KO Victory Derek the black bean is Lewis
