Derrick Lewis vs. Ruan Potts

Round 1
Potts steps backward and flicks out leg kicks while the heavy-footed Lewis creeps forward with his hands low. Lewis stuffs one half-hearted shot from Potts, then winds up clinched on the fence. Lewis winds up tripping Potts to the ground, but the big men are back on their feet almost immediately. A knee from Lewis catches Potts on the cup, and after a brief break for the South African to recover, Potts gives the “Beast” a few kicks to the body. Potts misses with one kick and tries to run away, bouncing off the cage and tripping to the ground. Lewis makes the mistake of standing over Potts, who grabs for a kneebar -- which appears to make Lewis tap once -- and then changes to a heel hook which Lewis escapes. Potts winds up on top in the ensuing scramble, but Lewis rolls him over from half guard and easily escapes another heel hook attempt. A big right hand from Lewis lands to the face of the grounded Potts, who drives forward and finishes the round working for a double-leg on the fence.

Round 2
Lewis just misses with a left high kick, then touches Potts with a left hook. Potts tries to clinch up and gets tossed to the ground, where Lewis uses a whizzer to take top position. Potts gets to his knees, and Lewis loops his right arm around the South African’s waist while bombing with left hands. Potts rolls to guard and Lewis stands up, then dives down into the prone man’s guard. Potts tries to isolate Lewis’ left arm, but he can’t and he winds up with Lewis flattening him from half guard. After eating a couple heavy right hands, Potts rolls over and covers up, leaving himself open for an arm-triangle choke. Lewis briefly considers the submission, then gives it up in order to take full mount and drop hammer fists on Potts’ face. Lewis has two minutes left in the round, slamming Potts with punches and elbows from full mount. Referee John McCarthy tells Potts to fight back, and when he does not, the fight is stopped.
