On February 20th, UFC fans will have the chance to witness an epic clash of heavyweights as Derrick Lewis takes on Sergey Spivac in the octagon. Both fighters have impressive records and formidable reputations in the ring, so it’s likely that this match won’t disappoint. Let’s take a look at what we can expect from the fight, including predictions and odds on who will win.

Lets talk about the A side in this match-up.
Derrick Lewis is a 34-year-old heavyweight fighter from Houston, Texas with a 23-7 record. He has been fighting professionally since 2010 and made his UFC debut in 2014. He is currently ranked #4 in the official UFC Heavyweight rankings. In his last fight against Ilir Latifi at UFC 247, he secured an impressive knockout victory over Latifi after just 1 minute and 50 seconds of fighting time.

Sergey Spivac is a 26-year-old heavyweight fighter from Ukraine with an 11-1 record. He joined the UFC roster back in 2019, where he defeated Marcin Tybura by unanimous decision. His only loss came at the hands of Walt Harris back in 2018 when he was disqualified due to illegal strikes to the back of Harris’ head.

Prediction and Odds
Lewis is currently favored to win this match with betting odds sitting at -200 (bet $200 to win $100). This means that oddsmakers are predicting that he has an 80% chance of winning this match. Given their respective records, it’s easy to see why they believe this — Lewis has more experience in professional fights overall, plus his last victory was particularly impressive given how quickly it ended. That being said, stranger things have happened in MMA before! It should be noted that Spivac could be underestimated here; don’t forget that he did manage to beat Tybura by unanimous decision which suggests that he can handle himself pretty well inside of the octagon despite his relative lack of experience compared to Lewis’ 10 year career as a professional fighter.
