Scouting Report: Derrick Lewis UFCVegas68 via LevPisarsky
Great, with vicious, accurate punches and elbows. The trouble is that he is rarely on top for long unless he is finishing off an opponent.
Lewis has better grappling than most give him credit for. Offensively, he actually has some wrestling in the clinch, able to complete a double-leg against Ivanov and a nice hip toss against Oleynik. His top control is weak, and he can be swept, but he has fantastic ground-and-pound if allowed to stay there. Defensively, his takedown defense is slightly above average, though plenty of fighters have taken him down. However, he is very stubborn and gritty on the ground.
