The Return of the Black Beast, Derrick Lewis vs. Gonzaga April 10th

[Actualized174]

A short-notice heavyweight tilt between Lewis and Gabriel Gonzaga has been targeted for UFC Fight Night 86, MMA Fighting confirmed Thursday following multiple media reports.


Lewis campaigned heavily for the fight on social media this week following the withdrawal of Gonzaga's original opponent, Ruslan Magomedov, due to knee injury. UFC officials have yet to formally announce the contest.

UFC Fight Night 86 takes place April 10 at the Zagreb Arena in Zagreb, Croatia. The event is the UFC's first to be held in Croatia, and is headlined by a heavyweight contest between top contender Ben Rothwell and former UFC champion Junior dos Santos.

Poor Gabe, that's going to be painful.

H tiine hold it diine.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

I wonder what kind of shape he's in? I guess 4 weeks isn't terrible, but the Black Beast isn't exactly a cardio machine to begin with.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Gonzaga could win if he can get it to the ground. But it seems like he's forgotten he's a BJJ black belt.

People actually look forward to fights like this?

I mean I don't expect him to get anywhere near a title shot, but I do find him pretty funny.

The man-side is a bjj black belt. The bear-side is a brawler, an the pig-side gasses

Like a box o chocolates

Nah I actually don't like street fights

Ah I see. Well, maybe during that match you could step out for a ride on your high-horse while the rest of us are captivated by the physicality of two extremely large men trying to beat each others' brains in.

I DO believe Dingaling will be rocking a monocle while slurping Grey Poupon with his pinky stuck STRAIGHT OUT!
