The highly anticipated UFC Fight Night event will take place on November 4, 2023 at Ginácio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo, Brazil. The main event will feature an exciting heavyweight showdown between Jailton Almeida and Derrick Lewis. Now, let’s take a closer look at whether Derrick Lewis ever beat former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
Did Derrick Lewis Defeated Francis Ngannou?
Derrick Lewis won his fight against Francis Ngannou at UFC 226, but unfortunately the fight turned out to be one of the most disappointing fights in UFC history.
Both fighters were known for their knockout power, so fans expected an explosive finish. Tension between the two escalated further when Lewis shoved Ngannou during the weigh-in.
However, the actual battle turned out to be very boring, and both fighters hesitated and did not want to fight at all. In the end, Lewis won a unanimous decision with judges scores 30-27, 29-28, 29-28, even though he only landed 20 strikes compared to his 11 strikes for Ngannou. I got it.
Ngannou’s UFC contract ends in January 2023, and he will join the Professional Fighters League (PFL). He recently fought Tyson Fury in a boxing match. Meanwhile, Derrick Lewis is preparing to face Jaylton Almeida next weekend.
