Pesta steps in for Hamilton against Lewis at UFC 192

Anthony Hamilton is out and Viktor Pesta is in when the UFC returns to Houston for UFC 192 in October.

Pesta, who sports a 1-1 record since joining the promotion in 2014, steps in to face Derrick Lewis, a heavy hitter with the ability to put almost anyone to sleep in the heavyweight division.

The 30-year-old Lewis is 3-2 during his UFC tenure, scoring KO/TKO victories over Jack May, Guto Inocente, and Ruan Potts.

UFC 192 takes place Oct. 3 at the Toyota Center in Houston, and features a light heavyweight title clash between Daniel Cormier and Alexander Gustafsson as the main event.
