Round one of the UFC Vegas 68 main event begins and Sergey Spivak opens up with jabs. A left from Lewis and then a short uppercut. Spivak forces the clinch and gets a takedown. Derrick Lewis scrambles up and shakes Spivak off. That doesn’t last long as Spivak quickly gets him back down. Lewis up again but is quickly taken back down. Spivak looks to secure an arm triangle choke. He locks it in and ‘The Black Beast’ is forced to tapout. Wow, that was a quick one.
