In his slow but steady climb on the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight ladder, Derrick Lewis has reached the rung upon which Shamil Abdurakhimov stands.
Lewis will face Abdurakhimov in the UFC Fight Night 102 headliner on Friday at the Times Union Center in Albany, New York, where the victor can perhaps move closer to title contention. Meanwhile, Cameroon-born Frenchman Francis Ngannou confronts former Maximum Fighting Championship titleholder Anthony Hamilton in the heavyweight co-main event.
