Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 315 Points   |   Tied for 913th

Tonight Derrick Lewis gave us the performance of his career. Now the discussion is who is next for this courageous and brute heavyweight?Here are some possible suggestions. 

1.Travis Browne: once prospected as a future heavyweight champion, Travis Browne poses a threat for any man of size but his career is currently in the midst of a downward spiral. Losing two in a row and 4 of his last 5 with 2 coming by first round KO. Browne vs Lewis is about between two men who need to make a statement. Lewis to prove he is the future and Browne to prove that the belt still lies in his future.

2. Shawn Jordan: This bout would be a rematch of a fight that ended in devastating fashion. Jordan hook kicked Lewis in the face for a KO. This is the last time Lewis has faced a loss. Shawn Jordan has gone 1-1 since this fight. Lewis has gone 5-0 since then. It would be great grudge match and it would be an incredibly early chance for Derrick Lewis to re write the most devastating fight of his career.

3. Ruslan Magamedov: unbeaten in the UFC this man would be great challenge for Lewis and Lewis would be good challenge for him. The story of this fight would be, the winner of this fight would be the next big thing in the heavyweight division. Plain and simple.

4. Mark hunt: Mark hunt is one of those guys that has fought the whose who of the current heavyweight division. It's almost like everybody who fights Mark hunt and beats him has there career skyrocketed afterwards (werdum, miocic). But those that lose to hunt (struve,Bigfoot, mir) your career seems to go to pot. This could be a risky fight for Lewis but a huge win over hunt will forever mark the division. (No pun intended)

5. Junior did Santos: After tearing through the best of the best in the heavyweight within one murderous winning streak , did Santos has slowed down. But making statement in his dominant 5 round victory over Ben Roth well. He has proved he still has it. A fight with Lewis would most likely be one of the biggest fox main events of the year due to Derrick Lewis's win tonight and do Santos having a win over the last 3 undisputed heavyweight champs.

Did I miss anybody. Suggest who you think Lewis should face next!!

Browne is on a losing streak, so I don't like the match up.

Jordan is in the wsof.

Magomedov Is a solid pick, both guys are on good win streaks.

Hunt lost his last fight and he's still disgruntled over the Brock roid thing, so no.

JDS is another good option.

I would actually like to see black beast vs war master Barnett
