Coming off a controversial defeat to alistair overeem at UFC 213, “Vai Cavalo” seeks to get back on track to winning ways and put himself close to a fight for the belt he won at UFC 188, after a submission victory over Cain Velazquez, and lost ten events later, at UFC 198, at home, to Stipe Miocic. While the Croatian-American remains champion, having defended the title twice, against Overeem himself and against junior gypsy, Werdum beat Travis Browne before being overcome by the Dutch giant.
Lewis also comes from a setback. The North American was knocked out by Mark Hunt at UFC Auckland, in June this year, in the 400th event in Ultimate's history, including pay-per-views and Fight Nights. The loss to Hunt interrupted a six-game winning streak for the “Black Beast.”
UFC 216 does not yet have a guaranteed main fight, but everything indicates that it will be worth the title of some category. This is because the co-main fight of the night will be for the interim lightweight title, with Tony Ferguson facing up Kevin Lee. Other duels confirmed for the October 7th show: Thales leites x Brad Tavares, Beneil Dariush x Evan dunham and John Moraga vs. Magomed Bibulatov.
