Derrick Lewis vs. Mark Hunt

Round 1
England's Marc Goddard is the referee for tonight's heavyweight main event, with judges Howie Booth, Barry Foley and Charlie Keech scoring at cageside. A slow opening minute sees Hunt trying to work his way inside on the taller man, while Lewis fends off the heavy-handed striker with kicks to the lead leg and body. Hunt keeps pressing out from the center, backing up Lewis to the fence, and finally the "Super Samoan" lunges in to connect with a sweeping left hand. Lewis has a pair of head kicks bounce off Hunt's right shoulder, then backpedals away when Hunt threatens to throw hands again. Hunt is feinting now and getting Lewis to bite. Lewis misses on another left high kick but pops Hunt with an uppercut behind it. Hunt steps in with an overhand right, sprawls on a shot from Lewis and hits the "Black Beast" with an uppercut. Hunt charges inside again, and Lewis slips to a knee while backing up. Lewis jumps up before Hunt can capitalize, and now the heavyweights reconvene in the center of the cage. Hunt pushes Lewis backward with a chopping leg kick, then has to back up as the American tries a flying knee. Hunt catches a body kick in the closing seconds and kicks back at Lewis' back leg.
Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Hunt
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Hunt
Mike Sloan scores the round 10-9 Lewis

Round 2
Hunt takes up the center of the cage again and stalks Lewis around the outside. Lewis blasts his way back to the middle with an awkward leaping kick. Hunt is soon on the march again, keeping his hands in Lewis' face as the "Black Beast" circles with his back to the fence. Hunt continues to work his leg kicks, and Lewis is starting to check the strikes now. Hunt takes a finger to the right eye from the outstretched hand of Lewis, but the Kiwi says he's good to continue. Hunt whiffs as he steps into the pocket with a big overhand right, but it's Lewis landing a counter right hook that backs up the K-1 vet. Lewis continues to fire kicks at the head of the shorter man, this time pulling up just short with a switch kick. Hunt, meanwhile, resumes walking Lewis around the perimeter, still landing leg kicks as they enter the last two minutes of the round. Lewis eats a right hand and starts to circle away, and Hunt lunges after him with another big right hand. Lewis looks to have cleared the cobwebs before Hunt can capitalize on the sequence, and now Lewis is scoring with counter right hands as Hunt marches after him. Hunt pops Lewis with a few more punches, then appears to think the round is over and turns to walk away. As he's called back by referee Goddard, Lewis nearly lands a left high kick, but Hunt dodges it and finishes the round with another combination at the fence.
Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Hunt
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Hunt
Mike Sloan scores the round 10-9 Hunt

Round 3
Lewis' hands are hanging low as he circles to his right in the opening minute of round three. Hunt stays measured, walking down the "Black Beast," always keeping Lewis on the outside. Lewis appears to poke Hunt in the eye again, but there's no complaint from Hunt. An uppercut scores for Lewis, but his follow-up punches go wanting as Hunt ducks and dips away. Hunt comes forward again, deflecting a lead uppercut from Lewis, who is suddenly looking very tired. Lewis gets Hunt to back up with a partially landed left hook, but "Hunto" is soon on the advance again. Hunt lands a leg kick, sticks a jab, now midway through the round and possibly the fight. Lewis tries to push Hunt away with a front kick, then shoots for a double and gets brushed aside by the local favorite. Lewis blocks an overhand right but comes away from the exchange with his hands on his hips. Hunt goes to the body with a right hook, now a left uppercut, and Lewis continues to back up with his hands held low.
Tristen Critchfield scores the round 10-9 Hunt
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Hunt
Mike Sloan scores the round 10-9 Hunt

Round 4
Lewis continues to hold his hands very low, breathing with his mouth open as he moves slowly around the outside. Hunt follows him from the middle, looking to land a big right hand, but Lewis continues to evade the power punches. Hunt lands a heavy leg kick, flashes a jab and comes over the top with a right hand. Lewis backs up Hunt momentarily with a tired left hand, but Hunt comes straight back with a body punch. Lewis looks to be struggling just to remain vertical as he stumbles backward around the edge of the cage. Hunt catches him with a big right hand to the jaw but lets Lewis off the hook with no follow-up offense. Lewis tries a last-dich leaping knee and right hand, comes up short and has to back up to the wall again. Hunt starts to unload with uppercuts and elbows as Lewis covers up and doubles over. Referee Goddard is telling Lewis to fight back, but Lewis is clearly finished, offering no intelligent defense, and the fight is stopped. Mark Hunt collects a fourth-round technical knockout of Derrick Lewis before an ecstatic New Zealand crowd.

Roy Nelson vs. Alexander Volkov

Round 1
Volkov attacks with an early head kick which is blocked but knocks Nelson off balance, leading to a brief clinch on the fence. Nelson inches forward on the towering Russian, who fends off "Big Country" with some kicks to the body. Nelson shoots in on a single-leg, can't get it and winds up pressing Volkov against the wall with an underhook. Double underhooks for Nelson now, looking for the outside trip, but Volkov defends well and keeps his footing. Volkov reverses to the outside and gives Nelson a few knees to the gut. Nelson reaches around the back to hook Volkov's rear leg and now manages to complete the trip. Volkov sits up against the fence, nearly stands but has his right ankle picked out from under him, and Nelson maintains top position. Nelson puts the top of his head underneath Volkov's jaw and keeps his head trapped against the fence as he works to flatten out the Russian on the ground. Volkov is fishing for something from guard, perhaps a triangle or kimura, but Nelson is giving him no space to work. With little happening on the ground, referee Dan Miragliotta orders the fighters back to their feet inside the final 30 seconds. Volkov blitzes Nelson with punches and knees, forcing "Big Country" to back up to the cage. Nelson hangs in the pocket with Volkov, however, and even slugs "Drago" back with a big right hand just before the horn.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Nelson
Brian Knapp scores the round 10-9 Volkov
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Nelson

Round 2
Nelson looks a bit more tentative after a frantic end to the first round, but he soon works his way back inside and pins Volkov to the fence. Volkov works an overhook and wrist control, making it tough for Nelson to work for his double-leg. Volkov breaks loose and lands a pair of punches, followed by a kick to the midsection. Nelson steps forward again, hands low, then shoots in behind a leg kick to try the double. Volkov denies the shot and pushes Nelson back to the middle of the cage to resume striking. Volkov's jabs and kicks are keeping Nelson on the outside, but the former IFL heavyweight manages to get through with a bombing overhand right. Both big men are looking tired as they hit the final minute of round two, but it's Volkov continuing to snap off jabs and stifle Nelson's attacks. Volkov blocks an overhand right and dings Nelson with a counter right hand. Nelson tries a late shot, stuffed by Volkov, and Nelson gives him a mocking wide-eyed stare as time runs out.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Volkov
Brian Knapp scores the round 10-9 Volkov
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Volkov

Round 3
Volkov steps backward as Nelson comes forward, stuffing a shot from "Big Country" and roughing up the American with punches as he tries to get back to his feet. It's more measured striking and long jabs from Volkov here in the final round, never allowing the tired Nelson to get too close. Nelson is breathing heavy as he walks forward with his hands held low, Volkov continually placing front kicks in his breadbasket. Nelson charges forward and lands an uppercut, but after circling away, Volkov gets right back to his jabbing and kicking. Two minutes left as Nelson continues to try and get inside; instead, he gets more kicks to the midsection, more jabs to the face. Volkov rocks the head of Nelson with a right straight-uppercut and a kick to the body, then closes out the fight with a few more body kicks.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Volkov (29-28 Volkov)
Brian Knapp scores the round 10-9 Volkov (30-27 Volkov)
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Volkov (29-28 Volkov)

Derrick Lewis vs. Roy Nelson

Round 1
Lewis opens with a couple kicks to the midsection of Nelson, who stakes out the center of the cage to start the fight. Nelson runs at Lewis with a right hand, misses and winds up pressing the “Black Beast” against the fence. Lewis widens his base and stays vertical with the help of a cage post, while Nelson stays glued on and tries to wrestle the larger man to the floor. After a minute or so of inactivity, referee John McCarthy separates the big men. Lewis bursts forward with punches and a head kick, but Nelson changes levels and drives him to the mat for the first takedown of the bout. Lewis powers back to his feet and drills Nelson with a knee to the stomach, then follows up with two or three big uppercuts as Nelson tries to wheel away. Nelson gets hold of Lewis and pushes him against the fence again, slowing the pace with 90 seconds on the clock. Referee McCarthy breaks them up again with 30 seconds remaining in the round, and Lewis goes on the offensive with more big uppercuts. Nelson looks hurt, stumbling backward as Lewis attacks, but once again “Big Country” is able to wrap up his opponent for a takedown.

Round 2
Both heavyweights are looking for the homerun shot early in the second stanza, but Nelson’s right hand pulls up short and Lewis’ is deflected. Nelson steps forward slowly while Lewis backs away, leading to an uneventful couple of minutes at the top of the round. Two minutes in, Nelson digs an underhook and shoves Lewis against the wall. “Big Country” gets the takedown and passes to side control, then leans right to left across Lewis’ body to frame up a kimura. While Nelson looks for the submission, Lewis rolls free and powers back to his feet. The escape is short-lived, as Nelson pulls him right back to the canvas. Lewis gets up again, only to be taken down again, and now Nelson puts his weight on his opponent from cross-side control. Lewis is back up again with only seconds to go, and he finishes the round swinging.

Round 3
Nelson goes after an early takedown and succeeds in single-legging Lewis to the ground near the fence in the opening minute of the round. Lewis works slowly back to his feet but can’t escape the clutches of “Big Country,” who holds Lewis on the fence until he’s able to take him down again. Lewis gets up again, but Nelson stays stuck on him, throwing knees to the legs and body as they rest in a weary clinch. Referee McCarthy resets the fighters with just over a minute on the clock, and Lewis wastes no time in slugging Nelson with a right hand. Lewis follows with a kick to the body, closes in on Nelson near the fence and hits him with a pair of rights. Nelson wraps him up in a bodylock, but Lewis separates with 20 seconds left. Nelson gets caught flailing and eats a huge right hand, but it could be too little, too late for Lewis.
