UFC 230 is officially ‘Cormier vs Lewis’

Less than a month out from the big show at Madison Square Garden, UFC 230 has finally found its main event.

In a follow up to his original report, Brett Okamoto has confirmed that Daniel Cormier and Derrick Lewis will headline the November 3rd show in a fight for Cormier’s heavyweight world title.

The early narrative for the contest involves Lewis being upset over Cormier’s blatant disrespect for Popeye’s Chicken.
