WAIT FOR THE RESULT OF UFC 211

Lewis, previously ranked eighth in the heavyweight division, would have to jump many deserving guys to fight for the title. Then again, there are not many names in the sport hotter than Lewis, especially in the heavyweight division.

He has quickly become a fan favorite, for his fighting style and obviously the colorful way in which he articulates himself.

Despite his popularity, however, Lewis should take one more fight in the interim. Velasquez makes the most sense here and should be booked for UFC 213 in Las Vegas.
