Terrible decision by hot balls to clinch and get a takedown.

Damn the black beast threw him down like nothing. Lewis lookin well versed on the ground so far. Spoke too soon Oleinik on top. # UFCVegas6

That was 3 to the back of the head tho

Derrick might have too thick of a neck for that that Ezekiel choke?!! #UFCVegas6

Looks like he wants that head and arm crank. Lewis is out. Delivers a bunch of punches to the back of the head. Oleinik back on top on the same position. Please don’t tap to that Lewis. #UFCVegas6

Omg the Kimura always works on big guys. I hope Lewis doesn’t get back in that position. I say he stays on his feet. #UFCVegas6
