The Saturday night heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou was announced as a clash of two of the most powerful punches in the history of MMA. There was no way that this fight would come out of the first round. Someone was going to be knocked out.

Likelihood that someone is sleeping? Very high. Very, very high. About as high as possible. @Francis_Ngannou and @TheBeast_UFC set the score NOW on PPV! # UFC226 pic.twitter.com/jumjE6G5k7

I have regret to inform you that it is the viewers who snored at the end of a decision that followed the path of Lewis despite the fact that he only received 20 strikes during a 15 minute fight. Ngannou landed only 11. This was, by far, his most active moment in the octagon …

I'm half joking. At one point, referee Herb Dean had to stop the fight to remind both of them that they were supposed to fight

AWKWARD ……

The two fighters were booed loudly all over along the "fight". But the criticism of the Las Vegas crowd paled in comparison to what they got from MMA Twitter …

Joe Rogan on Ngannou vs. Lewis:

"We could look at the most annoying decision of heavyweights of all time. "

Derrick Lewis won this fight by doing * a few * things, as opposed to Francis Ngannou, who did nothing.

Stock majorly for both Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis.

There is no way to sugar coat this one. It was an absolute garbage

So bad. Miocic stole Ngannou's soul. No interview after a fight like this. # UFC226
