4 Fights We Need to See After UFC on ESPN 56
The UFC returned to St. Louis on Saturday night, and heavyweight headliner Derrick Lewis made sure the fans at the Enterprise Center got their money's worth.
The No. 12-ranked heavyweight was back in action against the rising Rodrigo Nascimento, who was new to the UFC rankings at No. 15.
While Lewis has struggled with consistency of late, he got the win he sought in St. Louis, stopping his foe in the third round to maintain his record for the most knockout wins in UFC history.
Earlier on the card, St. Louis' own Joaquin Buckley defended his No. 11 spot in the welterweight rankings with unanimous-decision victory over towering Uzbek prospect Nursulton Ruziboev.
