UFC Vegas 65 staff picks and predictions: We’re liking Lewis to get it done

Related Topics: Derrick Lewis, Sergey Spivak

Oh boy, this card leaves a lot to be desired. Sure there could be some great fights on Saturday night, but it’s hard to get up for them when there aren’t many fighters on the card who have much of a reputation in the Octagon.

One half of the main event has plenty of reputation, though. The largely beloved Derrick Lewis will be taking on the unheralded Sergey Spivak here. The 37-year-old Lewis is in one of the roughest patches of his career, going 2-3 in his last five with all losses coming via TKO/KO. His last fight was a first round TKO loss to Sergei Pavlovich in July.
