Or Lewis get's owned on the ground.He has hands down one of the worst ground games in the ufc.If you look at his fight right before he got into the UFC with Ricky Shavers or something like that it's just an absolute mess.Some of the worst ground work I have ever seen,it's just so bad people literally watch it to laugh.The guy is terrible on the ground,but he has this insane strength to get out of any bad position,and this crazy heart to just pull through anything...but don't make any mistake,Lewis is absolutely technically one of the worst UFC fighters on the ground and Gonzaga can for sure take advantage.Lewis only really needs to land one big shot on Gonzaga and that's it...So it'll be interesting.But Lewis on the ground is just a mess,that guy has no clue *** to do there,he just muscles out of things.He's so bad on the ground it's literally laughable,he's just such a beast he get's out of ****.We'll see how that plays out.I think he ko's Gonzaga quick =/ but hoping my towny Gonzaga can pull it off.

I'm surprised Lewis/Gonzaga isn't closer in the picks. It all depends on what Gonzaga does quite frankly, when he fights stupid he gets KO'd, when he fights smart he takes people down and owns them. If this hits the ground at any point Gonzaga is gonna finish, Lewis's ground game is god awful.

His ground game is awful but he's shown he's been able to keep guys off him for long enough to land one of his gorilla mitts on them and Gonzaga hasn't exactly been the wrestling superstar as of late.

I personally feel that given their skillsets' clash I simply can't pick Lewis, but I can totally see him stuffing Gonzaga and punishing him or capitalizing on a lazy leg kick (Gonzaga loves to spam leg kicks) to sleep Gonzaga with a counter. He's much more athletic than he seems and has had a pretty steep learning curve uptodate.

Still going with Gonzaga, but I'm not super confident.

I farted and Junior used it as an excuse as to why he's already lost the Rothwell fight.

JDS will stop the Rothwell train. IF Rothwell beats JDS he's the greatest fighter in the world and will have the HW title for the rest of his natural born life.

Lewis is downright strong enough to just stand up while being fully mounted.

I took the dog in this fight, he's undefeated, so why the hell not? He'll probably get KO'd in 8 seconds.
