Capital was proposed on August 7, 2021, the rematch of Francis nunnou vs Derrick Lewis 2 somewhat made fans a bit disappointed, because it was just a “two plan” when Francis Ngannou could not have a battle to protect the best champion in UFC Jon Jones. However, with the recent impressive victories of both nunnou and Lewis, the nunnou vs Lewis 2 match will probably not lack the audience.
Unfortunately, due to many reasons, the heavy belt match between Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis is likely to be moved to September instead of being held in early August 2021 as expected.
“UFC plans to match the Francis nunnou x Derrick Lewis 2 on August 7, but this match is probably a long confirmation to be officially confirmed,” the journalist Ariel Helwani wrote. “There is a lot of debate about the time between the two sides.”
“There is nothing sure, but this match will likely be moved to September.”
