The victors and the washouts of UFC Vegas 68

A heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis and Serghei Spivac headlined the UFC Vegas 68. The card also comprised several enthralling matches, most of which delivered up to their hype. Apart from the fight of Doo Ho Choi vs. Kyle Nelson, which was criticized by the fans due to the ambiguous post-bout decision, the coveted main event and other fights mostly lived up to their expectations.

The 37-year-old ‘Black Beast’, Derrick Lewis, failed to showcase his prowess inside the Octagon. His opponent, the Moldovan, Serghei Spivac, put on a brutal show of dominance in the main event of the night. Spivac mauled his opponent Lewis for 3 minutes of the initial round and then submitted him as well with an arm triangle shortly.
