Want to see some big men throwing big shots? UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis thinks he has the perfect matchup. This past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 82, Lewis (14-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) steamrolled fellow heavyweight Damian Grabowski (20-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) via first-round punches – and then detailed a far-from-serious plan to fight UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor next month. However, early this morning, “The Black Beast” made a pitch for a much more likely matchup – one against Roy Nelson (21-12 MMA, 8-8 UFC). Nelson also fought at the FOX Sports 1-televised UFC Fight Night 82 event in Las Vegas, but his co-main event win over Jared Rosholt (14-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) came via lackluster unanimous decision . Nelson, though, ended a three-fight losing skid and possibly saved his job, so his priority probably wasn’t to please the crowd that night.
