On November 4, 2023, the Ginásio do Ibirapuera in São Paulo, Brazil, will host a highly-anticipated UFC Fight Night event. The main event will feature a thrilling heavyweight showdown between Jailton Almeida and Derrick Lewis. Now, let’s delve into whether Derrick Lewis has ever emerged victorious against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
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.
Ngannou’s UFC contract terminated in January 2023, leading him to join the Professional Fighters League (PFL). He recently fought Tyson Fury in a boxing match. Meanwhile, Derrick Lewis is gearing up to face Jailton Almeida this upcoming weekend.
