Better luck next time, Derrick Lewis . It was a very rational thought to have as the seconds ticked toward the third and final bell of Lewis’ meeting with Alexander Volkov at UFC 229. Lewis nearly had been finished several times. He repeatedly fussed with his eye, the result of legal blows he’d taken by the dozen. Somehow, he’d managed to fishhook Volkov, who was told by ref Herb Dean, “It’s OK. It’s time to fight.” A reversal late in the first round put the audience on edge as Lewis almost pulled off a ground and pound TKO
