Seventh in the heavyweight rankings, the 'Black Beast' returns to the octagon to try to recover from the bad phase he is going through in his career. In his last four fights, the former challenger suffered three defeats, two in a row and fell in the rankings, moving away from the division's elite. A win over Spivak could return Lewis to the top-5 of the weight class led by Francis Ngannou.
