GDT: UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Oleinik

[CDJ]

Lol how they gonna give out a 10-8 round when the dude landed like 4 significant strikes all fight


He’s still got great top control but I don’t see him posing a threat to most of the top 10 at MW

I think Akhmedov might be the guy to fight Shahbazyan next.

No doubt. If anything, the 2nd round was the closest to a 10-8.

ok lewis via KO to make it an ok night

 

[MapleLeafs94]

I think Oleinik gets slept here early.

 

[CDJ]

If lewis gets a KO it’s a very good night for me, if he does not it’s a very meh night for me


Oleinik is such a boomer coming out to this

Weidman v Till next?

I think they should aim lower with Weidman but he probably gets one of those Till, Brunson, or Romero (if he wins) types.

 

[CDJ]

The girl I’m seeing name dropped Oleinik the 2nd time we hung out and I almost proposed

 

[m9]

I think they should aim lower with Weidman but he probably gets one of those Till, Brunson, or Romero (if he wins) types.

They could even do him v Hermansson since they were supposed to fight earlier this year.

 

[m9]

Lewis is way too strong to get choked...right?

 

[MapleLeafs94]

Think Lewis should probably change up his strategy here lol

 

[m9]

Not sure on Lewis's game plan here. Stand up and keep distance.

 

[Avs_19]

How do even score that round?

I'm surprised Lewis isn't keeping this standing and likely putting Oleinik away.

 

[CDJ]

with a scarf hold or Ezekiel I would imagine so, but this f***in guy is weird so I’ll never say never

 

[m9]

That's a better gameplan.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Nice finish.

 

[Avs_19]

Yeah, just do that. He could've done that in the first round too. Weird decision making aside, Lewis did what he needed to do and that's a solid win.

Blaydes vs. Lewis? I know Blaydes wants a title shot but he's stuck behind Ngannou. This probably isn't a good match up for Lewis but I don't know what else you do.

 

[Canes]

Always love seeing that Black Beast power.

Yeah, it's probably the only fight to make unless Ngannou wants to avenge his "loss".

 

[CDJ]

Bless u Derrick Lewis

 

[h2]

Nice win by Lewis! Weird strategy in round 1, round 2 was more like it.

 

[CDJ]

Weidman v Till next?

I just thought about this a bit and I really don’t want to see Weidman take that fight

Till has dropped Whittaker and Masvidal in the fights he’s lost recently and he’s dropped them early. If the same shot lands on Weidman he’s not getting up and from what I saw tonight Till is gonna land. It’s a good name for Till to add to his list tho...helps maintain star power. Could headline a fight night

 

[crazychimp]

Was rooting for Oleinik simply because of his age lol, love Lewis as well. I enjoyed the grappling in Rd1, but the beast came alive in rd2 great KO. Not sure who Lewis fights next, he lost to the guy below him (JDS) at #5, Maybe Blaydes vs Lewis?

Ngannou is obviously the next in line for the title, if both Stipe and DC retire the winner of a Blaydes/Lewis should fight him for the belt even though yes Blaydes has already lost twice to Ngannou.

Weidman would get put to sleep by Till, his chin and stamina is just not there. If Weidman got hit with anything in the 2nd or 3rd round tonight he'd have gone out. Weidman needs easy/average opponents before he retires. He has no business fighting the top of the division.

Don’t know Dariush didn’t get some cash there....
