I helgen fick Derrick ”The Black Beast” Lewis se sin vinstsvit bruten. Han hade sex raka vinster i oktagonen men förlorade via TKO mot MMA-veteranen Mark Hunt under ett möte som agerade huvudmatch under UFC Fight Night 110.
Efter Hunts segerintervju tog kommentatorn Brian Stann en prat med Lewis som avslöjade att han hade problem med ryggen. Han fortsatte sedan med att säga att matchen antagligen var hans sista:
HETAST JUST NU
”It was probably my last fight. I’m getting married next week and I don’t like putting my family through all of this.”
”Most likely this was my last fight in the UFC”

Derrick Lewis says this is 'probably' his last fight in the UFC. Says he can't put his family through this. Wow.

Derrick Lewis is just 32. In the heavyweight division, that's basically the same as 19-year-old Chanmi Jeon.
