The pros believe Lewis will find the KO now that he isn&#8217;t fighting in Texas and back at the Apex where he is undefeated.<\/p>\n<h3>BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Derrick Lewis vs. Serghei Spivac:<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Max Griffin, UFC welterweight<\/strong>: I have put some good bets on Spivac because he ragdolls these fools. Lewis needs this one and I hope he wins, but I think Spivac gets him down and wins that way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/matt-frevola-says-ko-of-ottamn-azaitar-was-the-biggest-win-of-his-career-wants-to-fight-paddy-pimblett-in-london-i-could-finish-him-anywhere\/\">Matt Frevola<\/a>, UFC lightweight<\/strong>: Those heavyweights it\u2019s really whoever lands first and I think Derrick Lewis\u2019 best days are behind him. So, I\u2019ll say Spivac wins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Cody Brundage, UFC middleweight<\/strong>: I really like Derrick Lewis in the fight. I know he has had trouble as of late and Spivak needs to get Lewis down and finish him there. Serghei, meanwhile, is hittable, as well, Blaydes is a better wrestler and less hittable and Derrick still found the KO. I think Derrick adds another KO to his record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/mario-bautista-super-happy-with-first-round-submission-win-over-benito-lopez-hopes-for-a-ranked-opponent-next\/\">Mario Bautista<\/a>, UFC bantamweight<\/strong>: Derrick Lewis by KO. Finally out of Texas and will blitz Spivak early.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Jose Johnson, UFC bantamweight<\/strong>: I\u2019m rooting for Derrick Lewis, I\u2019m also praying he gets it done. He has had success in the smaller cage at the Apex and I think he can get the KO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Vince Morales, UFC bantamweight<\/strong>: Derrick Lewis is not in Texas so I\u2019ll take Lewis by KO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Chase Sherman, UFC heavyweight<\/strong>: I hope Lewis but I think he\u2019s in his own head and has struggled as of late. I think he\u2019ll come out guns blazing and get that early KO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Brady Hiestand, UFC bantamweight<\/strong>: I like Derrick Lewis and I think he gets another KO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Fernie Garcia, UFC bantamweight<\/strong>: Hopefully Derrick but you can never bank on him because you never know what Derrick you are getting.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>Fighters picking Derrick Lewis: Cody Brundage, Mario Bautista, Jose Johnson, Vince Morales, Chase Sherman, Brady Hiestand, and Fernie Garcia<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fighters picking Serghei Spivac: Max Griffin, Matt Frevola<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Who do you think will win the UFC Vegas 65 main event, Derrick Lewis or Serghei Spivac?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the main event of UFC Vegas 65, a heavyweight bout headlines the card as Derrick Lewis takes on Serghei Spivac.
