Former contender for the UFC heavyweight championship belt Derrick Lewis told who he expects to meet in the octagon after the upcoming fight with Gilton Almeida.

“I would definitely like to have a rematch with Tai Tuivasa. He's a great guy, I have nothing but respect for him, I like his style. I'm glad he was able to come this far in his career.

Before the fight with him, we were aware that he had great striking power. But the bigger problem was that I didn’t apply pressure, didn’t try to finish him off when there were such opportunities. And then he saw a hole in my defense and took advantage of it. That’s it,” Lewis said at a press conference.

The Lewis-Almeida fight will be the main event of UFC Fight Night 231, which will take place on the night of November 5 in Sao Paulo.
