The Derrick Lewis vs Sergey Spivak fight will take place at UFC Apex in Nevada.

How will the fight play out?

As we approach the upcoming bout between the two fighters, it is important to consider their respective strengths and weaknesses. Both fighters boast skilled striking and extensive combat experience, but Sergey Spivak’s precision in striking sets him apart from Derrick Lewis. While Spivak’s accuracy may be a positive factor, his lack of raw strength could put him at a disadvantage against Lewis, who has a reputation for swiftly defeating opponents with his power.

In terms of grappling, Spivak holds a clear advantage, possessing superior skills and endurance that could play a crucial role in the outcome of the fight. Additionally, Spivak’s defence is superior to Lewis’, who may struggle in grappling exchanges due to his limitations on the ground, in my estimation. 

Based on these factors, I would put my faith in Spivak, given his superior grappling, defence, and endurance.
