Derrick Lewis is about to get his first shot at UFC gold. On Saturday during the UFC 262 post-fight presser, UFC president Dana White himself confirmed that “The Black Beast” will be Francis Ngannou’s first challenger.
“Derrick Lewis is the next in line. He’s the guy who deserves a shot at the heavyweight championship. And yes, we will get that fight done,” White said.
“We’re not talking about it yet ‘cause it’s probably not gonna be ’til mid or late August.”
So where does that put Jon Jones?
