## Background
The Lewis vs. Browne heavyweight bout was originally scheduled for the [UFC 208](https://www.edgepedia.org/ufc-208) card in Brooklyn on February 11, 2017. When an injury forced [Stefan Struve](https://www.edgepedia.org/stefan-struve) out of his Halifax main event against Junior Dos Santos, the Lewis vs. Browne bout was moved to February 19 and became the five-round main event of the Halifax card.[6](https://www.ufc.com.br/news/lewis-vs-browne-headline-halifax-event-feb-19)
At the time of the bout, Lewis was ranked the No. 8 heavyweight contender and Browne the No. 9.[7](https://www.ufc.com/news/lewis-delivers-big-main-event-vs-browne) The event also marked the middleweight debut of former welterweight champion [Johny Hendricks](https://www.edgepedia.org/johny-hendricks), who faced Hector Lombard, a member of the 2000 Cuban Olympic judo team.[6](https://www.ufc.com.br/news/lewis-vs-browne-headline-halifax-event-feb-19)
## Main event
Browne started well. He fired a front kick that hurt Lewis to the body, and Lewis grimaced and dropped both arms to his midsection in pain at several points in the opening round.[2](https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/18721421/derrick-lewis-stops-travis-browne-round-2) Browne continued to attack the body and hurt Lewis again, forcing him to clinch.[7](https://www.ufc.com/news/lewis-delivers-big-main-event-vs-browne)
In the first minute of round two, Browne missed a high kick, and Lewis backed him into the fence with a barrage of punches. Browne covered up and signaled to referee Mario Yamasaki that he was okay, but when he attempted a takedown, Lewis ended up in top position. Browne made it back to his feet, but a straight right hand to the crown of the head put him down, and Lewis finished with ground-and-pound. Yamasaki halted the bout at the 3:12 mark of round two.[2](https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/18721421/derrick-lewis-stops-travis-browne-round-2) • [7](https://www.ufc.com/news/lewis-delivers-big-main-event-vs-browne)
The win extended Lewis' winning streak to six and moved his professional record to 19-4, with 16 career wins by knockout; it was the most significant victory of his career to that point. Browne, 34, fell to 18-7-1 having lost three consecutive fights, and it was the fifth knockout loss of his career.[2](https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/18721421/derrick-lewis-stops-travis-browne-round-2) Lewis said after the bout that he planned to take time off, having fought five times in the previous 12 months.[2](https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/18721421/derrick-lewis-stops-travis-browne-round-2)
