Derrick Lewis stunned Marcos Rogerio de Lima with an immediate flying knee tonight at UFC 291 and then capitalized with big ground-and-pound to get back in the win column via TKO.

h4>Round One:

Lewis immediately leaps into a big knee to the head and drops de Lima! Lewis gets on top and starts blasting away with heavy ground-and-pound.

De Lima unable to escape here as the bombs drop down. Finally he scrambles to his knees, but Lewis is still on top and raining down more blows and that’s it, just 33 seconds into the fight Lewis is the winner via TKO!

Great stuff from Lewis, catching de Lima completely off-guard with that Jorge-Masvidal style flying knee right out the gate to secure a record 14th knockout win of his UFC career.
