Aleksei Oleinik vs. Derrick Lewis

Of his 59 MMA career wins, 46 have come via submission. He can play defense standing up, averaging 3.72 significant strikes landed per minute with a 50 percent accuracy rate. However, grappling is his calling card, averaging 2.41 takedowns per 15 minutes. For this bout, Oleinik has a one-inch reach advantage and will ultimately take Lewis to the canvas, which will play to all his strengths. Take Aleksei Oleinik to win the fight.
