UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis stands alone as the knockout king of the UFC after scoring yet another sensational KO victory. Lewis put a beating on Chris Daukaus, who was outmatched in nearly all departments at UFC Vegas 45’s main event.

Lewis landed a flurry of strikes that Daukaus initially survived, however, he soon crumbled under the pressure after a second flurry.

Derrick Lewis is now the record holder of perhaps one of the most lucrative records in combat sports. Going into this fight, ‘The Black Beast’ was tied with Matt Brown for the most number of KOs at 12. However, with his recent demolition of Daukaus, Derrick Lewis is now the sole KO king with 13 knockouts in the UFC.
