Cormier captured the heavyweight title at UFC 226 with first round KO over Stipe Miocic. With the victory, Cormier became the second simultaneous two-division champion in UFC history.
Lewis defeated Alexander Volkov at UFC 229 this past weekend with a third-round knockout, after absorbing a high amount of punishment throughout the fight.
