Derrick Lewis once again struggled against high-level grappling on Saturday when he succumbed to a lopsided defeat against Jailton Almeida at UFC Fight Night 231.

Lewis (27-12 MMA, 18-10 UFC) had no answers to the superior top control of Almeida (20-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) over the course of five rounds. He survived until the final bell, but lost a unanimous decision in the main event at Ginasio Do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo.

With the defeat, Lewis now is 1-4 in his past five fights. What’s next for the 38-year-old? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after UFC Fight Night 231.
