There has recently been a big commotion in the UFC Heavyweight Division, with the pension of Jon Jones of MMA and Tom Aspinall's Ascension to official UFC Heavyweight Champion.

Derrick Lewis vs Francis Ngannou
Lewis is one of only two people who beat former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in his career.
He won a unanimous decision victory at UFC 226, where these two heavyweight colossen clashed in a long -awaited match over three rounds.
However, this is seen by many as one of the worst fights of all time. Lewis only hit 1 of his 26 who threw important strikes, and neither of them seemed interested in dealing with the other.
This led to a boring fight that ended with Lewis who took the victory home.
