In the UFC Austin co-main event, the UFC’s #7 heavyweight Derrick Lewis hung tough to knockout the #9 Marcin Tybura in the 3rd round. Lewis found early success with his power punching, stunning Tybura multiple times in the opening round. The 2nd stanza was a bit of a different story, with Tybura finding top position and keeping it for the bulk of the round. Lewis would not be denied, as he remained vertical and found the open space he needed to nuke his opposition. What a gutsy performance from Lewis in front of his home crowd!
