The UFC is bringing the heat to Edmonton this November as fan-favorite Derrick "The Black Beast" Lewis is set to face off against the hard-hitting Alexandr Romanov in a three-round heavyweight bout. The fight, scheduled for November 2 at Rogers Place, marks Lewis’s return to the Octagon after a thrilling victory in May.
Dana White confirmed the highly anticipated matchup during an appearance on Sportsnet. Though the promotion has not officially announced, insiders have shared that both fighters are ready to make a statement in this high-stakes bout.
Derrick Lewis (28-12), known for his explosive power and memorable post-fight antics, has been riding a wave of momentum. In his most recent outing, Lewis headlined a May event where he delivered a crushing finish to Rodrigo Nascimento, much to the delight of fans—capped off with his trademark mooning celebration. With two wins in his last three fights, "The Black Beast" is eager to keep the momentum going and continue his ascent in the heavyweight rankings.
On the other side of the cage, Alexandr Romanov (17-3) is looking for redemption. After a rough patch that saw him suffer three losses in his last four fights, including a quick submission defeat to Almeida in June, Romanov is hungry to get back on track. Once an undefeated force in the heavyweight division, Romanov is determined to show that he still belongs among the elite.
As the UFC gears up for its return to Edmonton, fans can expect fireworks when these two heavyweights collide. Lewis, with his knockout power, and Romanov, with his grappling prowess, make for a compelling matchup that could end dramatically.
With both fighters having something to prove, this bout is set to be a must-watch for MMA enthusiasts. Whether it’s Lewis’s heavy hands or Romanov’s quest for redemption, November 2 promises to be a night of high-octane action.
