Derrick Lewis trades in heavy bag, brutalizes stack of tires in preparation for Roy Nelson

What's not to love about Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight Derrick Lewis?

He not only hails from a background in boxing under the tutelage of the legendary George Foreman, but Lewis has immediately transformed himself into a bona fide knockout artist at the mixed martial arts (MMA) level.

After disposing of his last three UFC opponents by way of knockout or TKO, "Black Beast" has earned the opportunity to challenge divisional mainstay Roy Nelson at UFC Fight Night 90. Nelson may not be the bordering title contender he was just a few years ago, but he's still one of the biggest names in the division.
