UFC 230 fight Results: Cormier retain the heavyweight title over Lewis.
The UFC come & go at the "World's Most Famous Arena" on Nov. 3 as it presents to us the UFC 230 event inside Madison Square Garden in New York City as the year comes to a close. The main card is scheduled to being at 10 p.m. ET live on pay-per-view.
In a clinical performance which badly exposed the gap in class and technical ability between the two fighters, Cormier made the first defense of his heavyweight title on Saturday via second-round submission in the main event of UFC 230.
Despite getting booed each by the Madison Square Garden faithful each time he took the fan-favorite Lewis down, Cormier continued to maul and grind until "The Black Beast" finally exposed his back and instantly tapped out via rear-naked choke at 2:14 of Round 2.
Cormier (22-1, 1 NC), who joined Conor McGregor in July by becoming just the second fighter in UFC history to hold two world titles simultaneously, became the first fighter to defend both.
Below, you can have a look at the entire UFC 230 as it's shaped out to this point, with the main event still to be announced.
