Round 1: Quickly, Almeida takes Lewis to the ground and takes the mounted position. In total domination, the Brazilian is on the verge of submitting ‘The Black Beast’ several times. But the American resisted very well despite the delicate positions, and finished the round.

Round 3: Lewis finds himself on his back again. In the mounted position, Almeida works ground & pound. The roles reverse for a few seconds, and the Brazilian regains the upper hand. Aggressive, ‘Malhadinho’ doesn’t come close to finishing off his opponent at the end of the restart.
Round 4: New takedown by Almeida. Despite the dominant position, the Brazilian fails to submit Derrick Lewis. The latter only resists.
Round 5: Standing up, ‘The Black Beast’ tries to make his striking speak but is overtaken by reality. He is taken to the ground again and ends up on his back. Almeida still dominates, and scores a control time of almost 20 minutes.
