UFC Beforemath: How to Take Down Derrick Lewis and Not Get Knocked Out UFCVegas68 via BlaineHenryTFL
decided to shoot the takedown on Lewis, his bread and butter. The problem is Blaydes will shoot with his head down and to the power side of Lewis. We can see in the second frame that Blaydes isn’t looking where he’s shooting and is completely unaware of the uppercut he’s on a collision course with. The third frame is the perfect angle to see Lewis taking advantage of Blaydes shooting directly into his power hand.
The key to beating Lewis is to be extremely disciplined. That means no wild punches and no lazy takedowns. A lazy takedown will have Spivak sparked and out cold. Again, discipline is the key focus against Lewis and Spivak and his team will hopefully have focused on that. In the Lewis section, I mentioned that he doesn’t really throw the rear uppercut across his body and pointed out how that matters here. With the takedown being so pivotal in Spivak’s game, that note will be important. His head needs to go to the lead hand side of Lewis when a takedown is shot. Lewis throws the uppercut straight on and it causes train wrecks like we saw with Blaydes, but Spivak has shown the propensity to shoot to the power hand side on his takedowns.
