Did Derrick Lewis Defeated Francis Ngannou?

Derrick Lewis emerged victorious in a match against Francis Ngannou at UFC 226, but unfortunately, the fight turned out to be one of the most disappointing in UFC history.

Both fighters were known for their knockout power, leading fans to expect an explosive finish. The tension between them even escalated during the weigh-ins when Lewis shoved Ngannou.

However, the actual bout turned out to be extremely boring, with both fighters showing hesitation and reluctance to fully engage. Ultimately, Lewis secured a unanimous decision victory with judges’ scores of 30-27, 29-28, and 29-28, despite landing only 20 strikes compared to Ngannou’s 11.
