Also, I have a feeling Lee makes this fight easier than it looks on paper. It'll be sad to see El Cucuy's run end like this when he should've fought for the real title ages ago, but I'm kinda leaning towards Lee banking on the gazillion holes Ferguson leaves with his wild **** and not being able to outscramble and out-cardio Lee.

Tony should be smart and not go all in right in the first round, but he doesn't seem to be able to do it. He's probably the only fighter in the UFC where you as a fan wish he was trying less to have exciting fights.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? This sucks. I really hope it isn't Lewis' spine acting up again.

I forgot who it was,maybe 10 or 12 years ago,a guy with iirc dyed weird hair injured his ankle warming up and never got another shot.I remember at the time they weren't doing PPV's so I finally got I think UFC 20 something maybe at Blockbuster and right when the Kevin Randleman fight was about to happen they were like he fell and knocked himself out,sorry about that have a good night lol.Tim Means passed out cutting weight and ko'd himself then moved to 170 (this doesn't really apply since it was the day before).Who else ****** themselves up right before they fought,like right before?I'm sure I could think of a handful more.Nunes of course with her stuffy nose.
So anyone know what happened to Lewis?
Edit:Wow,how do you go through camp with a back injury that bad and then pull out last minute.I think he probably had a **** camp because of it and didn't want to go out and look terrible.He could have pulled out a week ago,or days or something and possibly get a replacement.The guy's awesome but this just seems weird,I think if he made it through camp he could have fought unless he f'd it up way more warming up which sounds weird after having an entire camp.Idk,and it's stupid to say cause I have no clue but I get the feeling he was just kinda like **** it,he obviously had one foot out the door anyway.Or maybe i'm just jumping to conclusions cause I really wanted to see that fight :(

Spoke to Derrick Lewis via text. "I can't move," Lewis wrote. "I’m feeling the same pain in my back that I felt before the Mark Hunt fight." Dealing with two bulging discs. His team tells me he tried his best to fight through it. He's devastated.

That sucks so bad. Lewis was a nice bright spot at HW for the UFC, and the fact that his body is giving out as he is reaching his peak in his abilities for his career is absolutely heartbreaking.

Sneaky decent fight. Big step up for Harris.
