UFC St. Louis is such a special fight card top to bottom. So special that we may be talking about it for weeks or even months after the dust settles in St. Louis.
The main event brings us two beasts trying to secure dominance in the heavyweight division. Don’t blink as (like any heavyweight main event) it has the potential not to go the distance.
Derrick Lewis looks to get back to his winning ways and take out a top prospect like Rodrigo Nascimento. The Black Beast seems to always dig deep and find that special knock out power when needed most.
Rodrigo Nascimento has an opportunity to continue his winning streak in St. Louis over a former title challenger. A main event this early in his UFC career is special and the UFC matchmakers must see a bright future for him. If Rodrigo can add Derrick Lewis to his record of wins, it would be his way of showing the UFC that he is ready for the big time.
