Derrick Lewis vs Jack May — Fight recap

Derrick Lewis defeated Jack May by KO/TKO in the first round at 4:23, establishing early dominance through relentless striking volume. Lewis landed 22 of 27 significant strikes (81%) with pinpoint accuracy to the head, while May managed only 5 significant strikes despite a higher accuracy rate of 83%.

The fight remained competitive in control time, with Lewis holding 1:48 and May 1:51, but Lewis's successful takedown attempt (1 of 1, 100%) and superior output overwhelmed May's defensive efforts. May's wrestling was inconsistent, converting just one of three takedown attempts, leaving him unable to neutralize Lewis's striking assault.

The decisive finish underscored Lewis's emerging threat as a heavyweight striker capable of ending fights through volume and precision rather than spectacular power displays alone.
