Just when it looked like Alexander Volkov was certain to extend his winning streak to seven, Derrick Lewis took out the heavyweight with a series of vicious punches, in what was an incredible comeback win.

Volkov peppered Lewis with jabs, right hooks and kicks from the opening bell, and he appeared to have the latter hurt on more than one occasion. As the clock wound down, and Volkov was moments away from the win, Lewis clocked the Russian with a booming right, and KO’d him with punches from above.
