Waldo Cortes-Acosta secured the biggest win of his career, stopping the legendary Derrick Lewis via TKO in the second round.

In the second round, 'Salsa Boy' turned up the pressure as Lewis appeared to slow down. Cortes-Acosta swarmed with a flurry of punches against the fence, overwhelming Lewis and forcing the referee to step in at the 1:45 mark, signaling a changing of the guard in the heavyweight division.

Kampf-Übersicht

A heavyweight slugfest guaranteed to deliver fireworks. Derrick 'The Black Beast' Lewis, the UFC's knockout king, takes on the technical volume of Waldo Cortes-Acosta. Cortes-Acosta, known as 'Salsa Boy,' brings a dancing, boxing-centric style that contrasts sharply with Lewis's plodding but explosive 'one-punch' approach. The narrative is simple: Can Waldo dance for 15 minutes, or will the Beast land that one sleep-inducing shot?

Schlüssel zum Sieg

Derrick Lewis

  1. Conserve energy and wait for Cortes-Acosta to overcommit to a combination
  2. Explode with the flying knee or overhand right when backed against the cage
  3. Create chaos in the clinch to land dirty boxing uppercuts

Waldo Cortes-Acosta

  1. Stick and move; use superior footwork to stay off the centerline
  2. Accumulate volume with the jab rather than loading up on power shots
  3. Attack Lewis's legs to remove his base for the power bomb
