June 2024 · 3 minute read

8 August 2020 was in Derrick Lewis' favor. Not only he won but also went through a record-breaking knockout win at UFC against Aleksei Oleinik. Both were on two-fight winning streaks on August's ESPN+ 32 main event, and Lewis did well in the game.

Starting with a flying knee was not a good move of Lewis as he found himself struggling with the patented chokes of Oleinik. However, he refused to give his opponent the 47th submissive victory.

The next round featured another flying knee and series of punches that gave him the title of the match. He came to top the UFC heavyweight record book with 11th knockout win this year.
