Pavlovich stops Lewis in the first, but Lewis is arguing the stoppage call by Dan Miragliotta. The crowd is booing heavily. #UFC277

Derrick Lewis now 0-3 in his home state of Texas. Pavlovich had him hurt, but maybe too early stoppage from Tan Dan? #UFC277

Derrick Lewis has had back issues
He’s taken two mighty steps down the ladder in his last two fights…
Chin isn’t quite what it was…
It’s not over.
But it’s getting late.#UFC277— Phil Murphy (@Phil_Sports) July 31, 2022

I don't get the outrage. It really wasn't a bad stoppage.
Lewis fell face first to the canvas. That's not a good sign. Also, we were just 55 seconds into the fight. Pavlovich was fresh and could've easily continued his attack. #UFC277
