The former two-time heavyweight title challenger Derrick Lewis hasn’t had an easy go of things as of late, collecting a record of just 1-3 over his last four fights.
Lewis has now lost two in a row - one knockout at the hands of Tai Tuivasa and, most recently, a first-round TKO at the hands of rising contender Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 277 last July.
He was originally scheduled to fight Spivak last November but was forced to pull out of the bout due to illness.
Sergey Spivak is 5-1 over his last six fights and has won his last two in a row. He earned a TKO victory over Greg Hardy before moving on to TKO Augusto Sakai in the second round of their August 2022 fight.
Both men stand at equal height but Lewis, the record holder in the UFC for the most knockouts in UFC history, will have a one-inch reach advantage.
However, it is Spivak that is listed as the notable -250 favorite to secure the win in Saturday’s main event.

Blagoy Ivanov is also coming off of a unanimous decision win, having defeated Marcos Rogerio de Lima at UFC 274 last May.
