UFC action continues this weekend with UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Nascimento live from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis on Saturday, May 11. The main card begins at 7 p.m. ET with the prelims starting at 4 p.m., both available on ESPN+, ESPN, ESPN Deportes and SiriusXM Fight Nation.
Main Event:
- The main event sees a heavyweight battle between No. 12 ranked Derrick Lewis and No. 15 Rodrigo Nascimento in what promises to be an exciting finish. Lewis (27-12), a knockout artist who holds the most KO wins in UFC history (14) as well as 22 total throughout his career, looks to add to his record-setting results. Rising contender and Dana White’s Contender Series alum Nascimento (11-1 2NC), with six first round wins including four within 1:39 or less, looks for another quick finish to add to his three consecutive victories, currently tied for the longest active heavyweight win streak.
Co-Main Event:
- Louis’s own No. 11 ranked welterweight Joaquin Buckley and Nursulton Ruziboev collide in the night’s co-main event. Buckley (21-9) looks to add to his 13 KO wins and extend his three-fight win streak since his return to welterweight in front of his hometown crowd. Ruziboev (34-8-2 2NC), making his UFC welterweight debut after a 2-0 start in the UFC at middleweight, plans to make a statement with an upset victory, adding to his 25 career first round finishes and extending his 10-fight win steak.
