UFCVegas68 Aftermath: How Sergey Spivak Smothered Derrick Lewis via BlaineHenryTFL
. It’s his go-to punch for anyone shooting a takedown. Spivak did well to avoid that. You’ll also notice that, as mentioned in Beforemath, Lewis did not punch across his body into Spivak. He punched straight on and that allowed Spivak to get in on the takedown and subsequent body lock. On the initial takedown, Spivak managed to get in on an attempt, albeit sloppy and triggered by the uppercut from Lewis, and his head was properly to the right side which is to the lead hand of Lewis.
Once Spivak gets on you, he’s like a wet blanket. He’s hard to get off of you and he’s suffocating. One thing that Spivak does very, very well is to be aware when a position is lost and be proactive in getting to the next position for another takedown or mat return. This was the story of the whole fight—if you want to call that a fight. Spivak takes Lewis down, Lewis thinks he’s getting up and Spivak takes him back down.
In the end, it was the relentless pressure that did Lewis in and that was completely the doing of Spivak. He managed to break Lewis’ will and when he got the arm-triangle, the tap was the one of a broken man who knew that he was never in this fight to begin with. The arm-triangle was set up with Spivak’s insistence on keeping the seatbelt grip and Lewis turning into Spivak with his back flat. But who can blame him? Lewis was beaten.The arm-triangle was set up as Spivak rode Lewis.
So, what’s next for Spivak? With his win over the No. 7 heavyweight, he will likely come in around eight in the rankings and he will get the opportunity to fight up.
