LAS VEGAS – A big name with a big punch. That’s what Waldo Cortes-Acosta is looking for in his next career move.
The Dominican rising heavyweight contender called out Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa following his latest triumph in the octagon. Cortes-Acosta (13-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) knocked out veteran Spann (22-11 MMA, 8-6 UFC) this past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 254, putting him on a four-fight wining streak and 6-1 in his seven UFC outings.
“Derrick Lewis or Tai Tuivasa, I’m ready for them,” Cortes-Acosta said in his in-cage, post-fight interview.
