“Who?” asked Lewis about who came up with the idea. “What the fuck. We will see. What the hell. I just said I don't want any more five-round fights. I want the money”, said Derrick, causing those present at the scene to laugh.
Linear and interim champions, Ngannou and Gane will share the Octagon at UFC 270, which takes place on January 22nd. White's suggestion about Lewis being an immediate reserve is as a precaution, in case one of the stars is not ready to fight.
This weekend, Derrick put on a real show in the octagon. Opponent of Chris Daukas in the main fight of UFC Las Vegas 45, the 'giant' once again proved the strength of his fists and ran over his opponent just over three minutes into the fight.
The victory put Lewis in a prominent position in the company. With the fast track triumph, Lewis became the fighter with the most knockouts in the organization, with 13, surpassing Vitor belfort and Matt Brown.
