UFC Fight Night at Halifax ended on a Lewis knockout. The event was much better than the NBA All-Star Game. Early action saw Randa Markos upset Carla Esparza by decision in what was a close fight. Markos came in with a unique and different style by being low and slumped over, and throwing punches from different angles. Carla seemed to get timely takedowns and mix in crisp boxing but just wasn't enough to win. The main card started with a big first round knockout. The second fight Sara McMann ran through Mazany with no problem. She came out pressuring and got it to the ground quick, and transitioned into the arm triangle from there. Johny Hendricks looked much better at the middleweight division. His boxing was on point and crisp and kept the energy level throughout the fight. The main event is why we all watched. Expecting a knockout and it delivered. Travis Browne had Lewis in trouble with a number of kicks to the body which could have stopped the fight anytime. Lewis on a few occasions went down grasping at is stomach but fought through it. The second round saw Lewis come out throwing and hit him a number of times. The fight went to the ground and after pounding him with bombs a late stoppage finally came. The post fight interview was very interesting if you haven't seen it, go watch it.
