Derrick Lewis vs Sergey Spivak Prediction: Don't Blink

On the night of November 20th in the U.S., the UFC Vegas ꦛ65 tournament will take place. The headline is a clash betwee🌃n the top heavyweights of the organization, Derrick Lewis and Sergey Spivak. 

The 🐼37-year-old Derrick Lewis, the Black Beast, is one of the most intimidating one-punch man. He has the most knockouts of any UFC fighter in history - 13. And there's a feeling that Derrick will still improve his record.

Last year Lewis fought Cyril Gane for the interim UFC title, but lately, things have been going poorly.✱ In 2022, Derrick suffered two early losses. In February, he was knocked out by Tai Tuivasa. In July, Sergei Pavlovic beat him in one minute.

Many believe the Beast should retire, but this is a serious misconception. Derrick Lewis was never known for his ingenious strategies or diverse technique. His weapon is his pounding fists, which he always has on him. The punching power is there, and if his opponent is distracted for even a second, the Black Beast will catch🍌 his pre♍y.

27-year-old Moldovan heavyweight Sergey Spivak is rapidly gaining momentum. Already, the Polar Bear is ranked number 12, having all chances to get in the top 10 if he beats ꧂seventh Le♉wis.

Spivak is currently on a streak of two straight wins. After losing to Tom Aspinall last September, Spivak defeated first Greg Hardy and then Augusto Sakai. Both wins came by TKO.

He is about to headline a UFC tournament for the first time in his career. This is an excellent opportunity to make himself known.

Experts believe that Spivak is the favorite in the fight. It's hard not to agree. He is ten years younger 🅺than the American. He is a more versatile athlete who is good both in standing and on the ground.

But we have to remember that Lewis can be enough to make one accurate shot. The win of Derrick in the first round looks highly tempting, a🐻nd for risk-takers, it's a great option.

Heavyweight fights often end quickly, and this one will be no exception. It will probably be over as early as the first exchanges🌌. Anybody can win, so we won't riﷺsk picking a winner.
