The UFC’s #4 ranked heavyweight, Derrick Lewis, just smashed the #10 ranked, Aleksei Oleinik, in the second round of the UFC Vegas 6 main event. Oleinik had some moments with a few takedowns and submission attempts in the first round, but Lewis put a stop to all of that in the second round. Lewis dropped Oleinik with a massive right haymaker, and then rained down heavy ground and pound until the referee had seen enough. This was an impressive showing for Lewis on many levels.

Check out Tim Burke’s play-by-play of Derrick Lewis’ destruction of Alexey Oleinik:

Round 2 – Oleinik wiffs on a front kick, only for Lewis to bum rush him with a flying knee to the chest and a heavy right to knock Oleink to the mat. Lewis unloads with the ground and pound and Oleinik can only cover up before Herb Dean intercedes. Big win for Lewis.

Derrick Lewis defeated Aleksei Oleinik via TKO (punches) at 0:21 of round 2
