A little too much is made of Derrick Lewis and cardio problems. He beat Tybura in the 3rd, Browne in the 2nd, Shamil in the 4th, Pesta in the 3rd, Potts in the 2nd, as well as winning a 3 rounder against Nelson. He went 2/3 rounds in a ton of his earlier fights, too.

He may not technically have the best cardio, but he knows how to conserve his energy really well, which is basically the same thing. The bigger problem is the back issue. If that's still around, Volkov will almost certainly outwork him and pick him apart. but Derrick's shown he can maintain KO power into the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Not to mention his GNP power, which is life-changing at any time in the fight.

Solid show by Volkov as well. Shame he had to take the L there. Dominated Lewis for 90% of the fight

No shame at all. All he had to do was circle and not staying in WMD range. Needed to not be a silly goose for 20 more seconds. He got what he deserved.

If he made it to the end, I was about to post about how good he looked. beautiful kickboxing technique, more technical than just about anyone at heavyweight. great conditioning too. but he got complacent, thought he had it in the bag. And Lewis can end the fight in a second

No doubt. I'm just getting "Don't punt to Desean" flashbacks. Easier said than done to not be a moron sometimes.

Dang must be the worst feeling in the world to win like 14:50 and get knocked out. Chae Sonnen has someone he can talk to now..

Was incredibly impressed by his conditioning. Dude at his size keeping that technique for that long is incredible. Excited to see what he has in store for the future.
