The heavyweight division is all about massive bodies and the supposed one-punch knockout power that is unrivaled. Undoubtedly, heavyweight contender Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis is the knockout kingpin of the division. With over 13 KO wins to his name. He is currently leading the charge that even other champions are failing to equate this record.

Lewis is once again going to step into the cage this weekend against a top contender in Tai Tuivasa. The Australian fighter is also a knockout specialist with remarkable victories over Greg Hardy, Stefan Struve, Andrei Arlovski, and more.

This massive clash of the titans will mark as the co-main event for the PPV, which will also feature a highly anticipated rematch between Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker.

Lewis also holds another impressive record that will put his compatriots in Kamaru Usman, Israel Adesanya, and Glover Teixeira to shame. 

Will Derrick Lewis secure yet another devastating KO at UFC 271?

Counting the ‘Black Beast’ out of a fight is a terrible mistake, something Alexander Volkov’s fight has already highlighted. Despite being down on all judge’s scorecards, Lewis found a way to land the powerful uppercut, which earned him a knockout win at the most crucial moment. He may have lost his chance to face the current champion, but a new string of victories can bring him back into the title picture.
