Does Derrick Lewis Really “Just Stand Back Up?”

There are a lot of reasons to love “The Black Beast”, Derrick Lewis. From “my balls was hot” to his legendary post-fight interview against Travis Browne, Lewis has proven to have a candid and endearing personality. He fights with violent bursts, earning ten knockouts out of 12 UFC wins.

Derrick Lewis fandom comes with an understanding that he is deeply flawed as a fighter, but wins in spite of that. He’ll spend long stretches of fights doing nothing, and finds himself in terrible positions nearly every time out.

Somehow, Lewis finds a way to recover and, more often than not, saves the day with some “H-town swangin’ and bangin’.
