Derrick Lewis kept his hot win streak alive following his victory over veteran Roy Nelson.
The heavyweight slugger went to the judges scorecard for the first time in his UFC career eking out a questionable split-decision over 'Big Country'. Lewis displayed his take down defense as his game plan was clear; headhunting.
Nelson is known for his haymakers though was wary of trading with the aptly named 'Black Beast'. As the round was nearing an end, Lewis threw a barrage of big shots including a huge overhand right connecting flush on Nelson's beard, yet took it immediately tying up. What a chin!

The talented Esther Lin of MMAFighting also captured this brilliant picture.
The last man to KO Nelson was Mark Hunt who faces Brock Lesnar at UFC 200.
