Prime Picks: UFCVegas68 ‘Lewis vs. Spivak’ via jaypettry
While not likely on the chopping block with another loss, the soon-to-be 38-year-old Lewis undoubtedly has his back against the wall in this rebooked main attraction. Due to his level of achievement and multiple failed title opportunities, Lewis will not get many steps down in competition until the bitter end. He faces, a powerful young Moldovan on the edge of the Top 15 who has developed in a big way over the years, physically and technically.
The safest bets in this match may not be of one specific victor but rather that the fight ends before the final bell. However, the specific pick of any stoppage materializing is too high at -515, and even the under of 3.5 rounds—meaning the match concludes by 2:30 of Round 4—is a hefty -350. Safe is not always rewarding. It cannot be understated that Lewis will always hold the trump card of fight-ending power, and his UFC record of 13 knockouts is not an accident.
