Derrick Lewis is officially on the worst losing streak of his career.The UFC fan favourite was hoping to get back on track by beating Sergey Spivak in.

[UFC 285](https://talksport.com/sport/mma/1306493/ufc-285-jon-jones-vs-ciryl-gane-date-uk-start-time-fight-card-live-stream-tv-channel/) on March 4. ‘Polar Bear’ is here, ‘Polar Bear’ is coming. He’s great, he’s a legend for me.

Win or lose, Lewis has typically been competitive except with the most elite of the division. While Serghei Spivac is a good fighter – and still improving – I ...

He snapped Nakamura’s head back with a couple of his strikes, turning in the most exciting contest of the evening in the process. Marcin Tybura and Blagoy Ivanov: It wasn’t a surprise to anyone that these two heavyweights put on the most miserable fight of the evening. But he also fought the best fight he could in hopes of securing the win over the heavily favored Nakamura. To be fair to Nelson, he did have the most complete performance of his UFC career, hurting Choi a couple of times and not completely gassing down the stretch. The first one to earn a UFC contract on the evening, Park showed a real killer instinct, aggressively pursuing a finish after being put on his ass in the second round by Seung Guk Choi. Regardless, Nakamura picked up the contract and appears to have the highest ceiling of all the newcomers on this card. What put Lee over the top is he did more damage with his strikes as opposed to Yi’s emphasis on wrestling and control. Only the second fighter to step foot in the Octagon from the second most populous country in the world, Jubli had a plan and executed it to perfection. Anshul Jubli: Perhaps the most ready-made product from the Road to the UFC, Jubli fought with a maturity that you wouldn’t expect from someone from India. As to the reason for the late start, several promising talents out of Asia were crowned winners from the Road to the UFC tournament. Perhaps it was a good thing for many as perennial fan favorite Derrick Lewis suffered perhaps the most humiliating loss of his career. The first few contests were competing with Fedor Emelianenko’s retirement fight – which I have to admit I switched to myself without missing any of the UFC action – and it had a horrible time slot.

I'm taking this very seriously, and I'm moving toward the gold,” Spivak said after tapping out Derrick Lewis at UFC Fight Night.

Spivak put on a clinic. Spivak on the arm triangle, Lewis taps. Up and down again. Lewis stands again and gets run to the mat again. [February 5, 2023] And more punches.

The UFC handed out four post-fight bonuses after Saturday's card, including one to the main event winner.

Kazama came forward recklessly, himself, but Nakamura landed first and never took his foot off the gas to win a contract as the bantamweight winner of “Road to UFC.” Jubli wore Saragih down, mounted him in the second round, then ground-and-pounded him until he got the stoppage and a UFC contract as the lightweight winner of “Road to UFC.” Serghei Spivac (16-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) absolutely wrecked Derrick Lewis (26-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC) without much resistance in the main event.

It's been more than two years since Devin Clark had a winning streak to help propel him. Now he's starting to get that feeling once again.

Dana White says Derrick Lewis' position on the UFC roster in not in jeopardy despite being "manhandled" at UFC Fight Night 218.

After the biggest win of his career, Serghei Spivac is more than happy to take a little time off.

He was a great champion and he’s still a great champion, in my opinion. Give me a contract, I (sign) it, and that’s it. “I don’t choose my opponents and I don’t think about (rankings),” Spivac said. My friend Misha Cirkunov showed me this triangle choke and we worked a lot for this moment. I trained a lot for this moment. Fast forward to now, and Spivac wouldn’t mind a chance to chill, even though he said he’s likely to be right back in the gym, no matter what.

"I love the guy. At 3:05 in the first round, Serghei Spivac pummeled Lewis until he finally made him submit to an arm triangle. I love him, so he's not going anywhere." In the main event of UFC Vegas 68 on Saturday, "The Black Beast" fell victim to an arm-triangle choke from Serghei Spivac in the first round, marking his third consecutive defeat and fourth defeat in his previous five fights. White promised, however, that Lewis' promotion status would not be in jeopardy as a result of Saturday's outcome. He made a big statement tonight."
