Derrick Lewis defeated Roy Nelson by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night 90. It was a clash of styles, and the Las Vegas crowd was not a fan of the scorecards that were read.
Dave Hagen + Glenn Trowbridge, two usually disappointing judges to say the least, come up big with the 29-28 Lewis cards. Blind squirrels.

We were promised heavy leather, and that’s what we got - from Lewis. He landed more than 50 significant strikes and went for the finish at every opportunity granted to him.
