Derrick Lewis says it would be ‘perfect to fight Curtis Blaydes next’, vows to lose weight beforehand

Derrick Lewis showed off plenty of aggression, and brutality, in finishing Aleskei Oleinik last night in the main event of UFC Vegas 6. On route to earning the 11th KO/TKO of his career ‘The Black Beast’ also showed a little more athleticism than we are used to seeing from him inside the UFC Octagon.

In his post-fight press conference Lewis said that his improved conditioning, and more svelte frame, were a result of him introducing more discipline into his training regimen.

“I owe it to the fans,” said Lewis (ht MMA Fighting), when discussing his reasons for getting in better fighting shape.
