UFC 271 just added a massive fight. MMA Junkie reports that two of heavyweight’s hardest slugging athletes are now set to face off in what will almost certainly be a feature booking for the PPV portion of the card. Derek Lewis is set to take on Tai Tuivasa alongside the rematch of middleweight champ Israel Adesanya and former title holder Robert Whittaker on February 12th.
The ‘Black Beast’ is fresh off a first round KO over Chris Daukaus, back at UFC Vegas 45 on December 18th. That fight presented a perfect bounce-back opportunity for the 36-year-old, following a 3rd round TKO at the hands of Ciryl Gane back in August.
