Little to separate the two men as round 1 comes to an end. Probably Latifi's round, though Lewis did manage to land a flying knee that momentarily troubled the Swede.

[9 February 2020 03:29 · Alex Pattle]

Some effective low kicks from Latifi now and Lewis returns fire with a body kick. The fighters are soon back clinching against the cage.

[9 February 2020 03:31 · Alex Pattle]

Latifi is able to take down Lewis and - with half the round remaining - the former wrestler will happily hold this position.

[9 February 2020 03:32 · Alex Pattle]

Not a lot of action from Latifi, and Miragliotta stands the men up!

[9 February 2020 03:34 · Alex Pattle]

Latifi throws Lewis back to the mat and follows the Louisianan down. The buzzer sounds and the takedowns will definitely have been enough to secure Latifi the round. He may well be two up heading into the third.

[9 February 2020 03:35 · Alex Pattle]

Lewis goes for another flying knee, but it ends up landing him in the clinch, which is not where he wants to be in this third round... He's quickly taken down.

[9 February 2020 03:36 · Alex Pattle]

Latifi throws some strikes from half guard, seemingly in no rush to step over into mount.

[9 February 2020 03:38 · Alex Pattle]

Lewis is able to get to his feet as Latifi fails to take the back. Two minutes for Lewis to find a knockout!

But again he's tied up in the clinch...

[9 February 2020 03:39 · Alex Pattle]

Lewis knocked out Alexander Volkov with just seconds remaining in 2018, can he find another late, late finish here?

[9 February 2020 03:40 · Alex Pattle]

Wow, Lewis emptied the tank in the final thirty seconds and landed some decent shots on Latifi, but none were enough for the finish.
