Feb. 21 (UPI) -- While many UFC fans were focused on the fall of Ronda Rousey, her boyfriend Travis Browne took a beating Sunday in Nova Scotia.

Browne had a great first round in UFC Fight Night 105 against Derrick Lewis. Then he turned it on so much that the fight had to be stopped in the second round.

Lewis delivered some serious upper body blows to the Hawaiian before he fell on his back onto the mat. Lewis then slammed his right fist repeatedly into Browne's skull until he lost consciousness.

After the fight, Lewis was asked about how badly he was hurt.

"I just got to do a No. 2, that's all," Lewis said on FS1. "It's not really hurting from the kick, I've just got a boo-boo."

Lewis delivered one final blow in his next answer, referencing Browne's domestic violence allegations in 2015. An independent investigation by the UFC found inconclusive results regarding the allegations. Jenna Webb never pressed charges against Browne.

"Oh, I'll fight whomever Dana White asks me to next," Lewis said. "I just knew I had a bigger heart than him. He calls himself a man, but he likes to put his hands on women. So forget that guy, I've got much more heart than he has."

"Where's Ronda Rousey's fine [expletive] at," Lewis asked.

Lewis, 32, is 18-4-0 as the No. 8 ranked heavyweight. Browne, 34, is 18-6-1 and the No. 9 ranked heavyweight.
