Heavyweight newcomers Derrick Lewis vs. Jack May slated for UFC on FOX 11
Two heavyweight promotional newcomers will meet in April at UFC on FOX 11, UFC President Dana White today announced.
Undefeated Jack May (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has agreed to meet Derrick Lewis (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at the network-televised event.
UFC on FOX 11 takes place April 19 at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Lewis vs. May is likely to be part of the online prelims.
Lewis, who was briefly linked to a UFC bout in 2013, is a 29-year-old Texan perhaps best known for his recent work with Legacy FC and RFA. The fighter, who has eight knockouts in nine career victories, is riding a five-fight winning streak that include a Legacy FC title win over Jared Rosholt.
May, a three-year pro, makes his UFC debut with six knockouts in seven career wins. The 32-year-old Californian most recently competed this past weekend, when he scored a head-kick knockout of Carl Seumanutafa (8-4 at the time) at Tachi Palace Fights 18.
