Brazilian heavyweight Gailton Almeida summed up the results of the fight with Derrick Lewis at the UFC Fight Night 231 tournament, and also named the name of his next desired opponent.
“We knew Derrick was hitting really hard. And we only had 15-20 days to develop a strategy for this battle. But in the end, everything worked out for us: I carried out takedowns and controlled him, fought off all five rounds. Everything went very well, although I missed a little, I didn’t feel his blows.
I want to challenge Cyril Hahn. We can fight in France, in El Salvador - anywhere! I’m ready, let’s make this fight, Cyril!” the Brazilian said in an Octagon interview.
Let us remind you that Almeida defeated Lewis by a crushing decision.
