Derrick Lewis is a one of a kind character.
The UFC heavyweight has ascended to contender status through his ridiculously heavy knockout power, which has turned many would-be losses into dramatic wins. This weekend he has a shot at becoming the interim champion if he can beat Ciryl Gane at UFC 265 in Houston.
But Lewis’ popularity is not just for his fights, which often have a comical element to it, but his natural mic skills. He is as funny as they come and it makes his interviews, whether pre-fight or post-fight, a must-watch. One of his best lines came after his insane comeback KO versus Alexander Volkov at UFC 229.
