Derrick Lewis UFC St. Louis Octagon Interview

Heavyweight knockout artist Derrick Lewis scored another finish on Saturday in the UFC St. Louis main event.  Lewis knocked out Rodrigo Nascimento early in the third round after knocking him down with a right hand.  

Lewis entered the bout coming off a decision loss to Jailton Almeida in his previous fight back in November. He had lost four of his last five bouts and was in desperate need of a win to stay relevant in the division.  “The Black Beast” halted Nascimento’s three-fight winning streak and added to his record knockout wins in UFC history.  The record is now 15.  

After the win, Lewis took off his fight shorts, took out his cup, removed his gloves and spoke to former middleweight champion-turned commentator Michael Bisping.
