Lewis has a puncher’s chance and I don’t usually care for “puncher’s chance” fights but Lewis won’t quit. He could actually pull this one off.

Well that was hella predictable but let’s give Lewis credit for stepping up to save this card. Dc is on another level, hope to see him rematch Jones one last time before he retires. #UFC230
