And in true Derrick Lewis fashion, after the stoppage he discarded his fight shorts, fanned his fallen opponent with them, launched his protective cup and gloves into the crowd and, for good measure, pulled down his underwear to give the fans a view of his backside.
Lewis clubbed Nascimento with a right hand and went for an early takedown, something he promised to do during fight week. Lewis stunned his opponent with a leg trip, but the Brazilian popped back up to his feet. After the two disengaged, Lewis attempted a switch kick and a combination, but Nascimento crowded his space and secured a takedown of his own.
Lewis briefly opted out of wrestling in the second round and returned to his striking roots, clubbing Nascimento in the opening minute with rights and lefts. Nascimento got a hold of Lewis to slow down the striking but ate an uppercut on the inside. Another salvo from Lewis rattled the Brazilian, but he managed to stay upright. However, an ill-fated leg-trip attempt by Lewis saw Nascimento take his back with just over a minute left in the round.
