#5 Derrick Lewis -215 vs. Illir Latifi +195

"The Black Beast" got back in the win column last out with a narrow Split Decision over Blagoy Ivanov. Lewis looked noticeably slimmer in that appearance and always has his supernova power.

What the hell is "Beefi" Latifi thinking here? The Swedish "Sledgehammer" has lost 2 in a row and has been (T)KO'd 4 times in his career but moving up in weight seems daunting. The 5'8" Ilir is an Internet darling but he's getting knocked out viciously here. 

Then hand Derrick the mic and piss off.
