UFC 269 was one for the ages, as the stacked card had fireworks from top to bottom including the second biggest upset in women's title fight history when Juliana Pena (+590) defeated longtime champion Amanda Nunes.

The promotion isn't taking a break, however, as UFC Fight Night 199 is set to take place this weekend at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis (25-8) and Chris Daukaus (12-3) is set for the main event.

Derrick Lewis vs. Chris Daukaus Prediction

Derrick Lewis has struggled throughout his career when he faces an athletic heavyweight who is light on his fight. Look no further than his three latest losses as proof of that. Ciryl Gane, Junior Dos Santos, and Daniel Cormier all fit the bill of fighters who have fantastic footwork and can pick their shots instead of getting into a brawl with the heavy-handed Lewis.

Chris Daukaus is exactly that type of fighter, so despite having only fought 15 times in his professional career, there's good reason why he's a favorite. He's undefeated in his UFC career, with all four fights coming via finish. I'm going to back him to make it five straight wins within the promotion this weekend.

Pick: Chris Daukaus -130
