UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Spivak is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on February 5 at the popular UFC Apex Aren. Experienced American Derrick Lewis will fight Moldovan prospect Serghei Spivak in the heavyweight division. This will be the main event of UFC Fight Night 218. Spivak is below Lewis in the heavyweight rankings, but has opened as a big favourite with bookmakers: The fight is planned for 04:00 UK time.
Derrick Lewis has been out of his prime for a long time now. He’s fighting worse and worse with every fight. There’s a lot at stake here. He’s only motivated by his earnings, but he also gets good cheques for getting out. He is not keen to win, and nobody lets him do that. Sergiy is young and hungry for wins, the top division is open in front of him, and the American is a passing ticket. It’s worth expecting that Spivak will win with confidence, and clearly ahead of schedule.
Derrick Lewis is a 37-year-old top heavyweight from the USA. He has a record of 26-10 and has been knocked out twenty-one times, as well as one win by submission and four by decision. He’s been in the UFC for over eight years. He was considered one of the best in the division for a long time but is now having a rough time. In 2021, after beating American Curtis ‘’Razor’’ Blaydes, Derrick fell to French Ciryl ‘’Bon Gamin’’ Gane but lost by technical knockout. Later that year, Lewis defeated American Chris Daukaus by first-round knockout. But in 2022, the American first lost to Australian Tai ‘’Bam Bam’’ Tuivasa by technical knockout in the second round, and on July 30, he was defeated by Russian Sergei Pavlovich in less than a minute. He is ranked 7th in the heavyweight rankings at the moment.
Sergei Spivak is a 27-year-old fighter, hailing from Moldova. His current record is 15-3. Sergei is a versatile fighter, with seven wins by knockout, six by submissions, and two more wins by decisions. Spivak showed great results in the WWFC promotion, due to which he got invited to the UFC, where he lost his first fight to American Walt ‘’The Big Ticket’’ Harris, but a few months later he clobbered Australian Tai ‘’Bam Bam’’ Tuivasa with an armbar. Since then Sergei has fought seven more fights with five victories in the process. He ranks 12th in the heavyweight rankings at the moment.
