Sergey Spivak Puts the Heavyweight Division on Notice
Sergey Spivak was riding a two-fight winning streak, winning five out of his last six, and ranked 12th in the heavyweight rankings coming into his first main event matchup against the then 7th-ranked Derrick Lewis.
Spivak didn’t play any games as he came rushing forward looking to bring the fight to Lewis as soon as the ref told them to fight.
They mixed it up on the feet for a brief moment until Spivak was able to get ahold of him for judo toss, and it was shortly over thereafter as Spivak just softened him up with strikes until the arm-triangle presented itself.
He should have now taken the number seven ranked spot and solidified himself as a legitimate title contender at the top of the division.
Even during his post-fight speech with Michael Bisping he called out a fight against one of the greatest of all time, Jon Jones. He may not get that match soon but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility if Spivak keeps winning.
Look for Spivak to really push toward a title fight with another win against a top-ranked foe.
