I’m going lewis. Tai can bang but you do not want to brawl with Lewis. The greg hardy fight was pretty telling; if hardy had any iq he would have finished tai, imagine what Lewis would have done in that situation

Lewis has a pretty good chin too. I think like 4 of his ko losses are from him giving up, not cuz he got hit with big strikes 

Edit: nvm he’s only given up in two losses

This is why you wait to judge a card. Especially when it’s more than 1 month out and during COVID.

Tai is gonna knock him out, you heard it here first. 

Watch Lewis give up to DC
Watch him give up to an old JDS
Watch him get knocked out by MATT MITRIONE

Watch this

I mean JDS beat tai as well and tai would also lose to DC. The mittirone and Jordan fights were so long ago they aren't really relevant here. Watxh tai vs hardy. If hardy had above 50 iq tai would have been unconscious

Both have up and down, Tuivasa lost again Ivanov and Spivac. Dont know who win this, probably Lewis but this is kind of fight were anybody can go down at any moment.

Its the best chance for Tuivasa to enter top 5 because i think Volkov or Blaydes will smash him.

The opening odds for Lewis - Tuivasa are wack.
Was all over Lewis at -150..don't forget Tuivasa was released by the UFC in August 2020.
Tuivasa is extremely hittable and in a fight where someone likes to slugfest, it's hard to go against Lewis.
Tuivasa has zero competitive advantages in this fight.

Tai is younger 28, been kod less and probably has better chin last can't be proven.
That being said yes this is a step down for lewis though chris d was a zero steam hype train.
Lewis is 36 and he has been hammered like streatmeat many times he also has given up.
Weirdly I do give speed and fight iq albeit caveman level to lewis pretty even fight all told.

I love tai but I really don’t think he wins this. People should know you can’t brawl with Derrick lewis; you just can’t. If Greg hardy is almost koing tai in brawls Derrick is gonna put his lights out
