Derrick Lewis needed 15 seconds to knock him out Alexander Volkov at UFC 229, October 06th in Las Legas (USA). With the great spectacle at T-Mobile Arena, the fighter got his passport stamped to face Daniel Cormier for the heavyweight title at UFC 230, on November 03rd. However, there was a doubt as to whether the athlete could perform two matches in less than 30 days. In a press conference, 'The Black Beast' stated that he is prepared to face 'DC'.

Unlike Lewis, Cormier admitted that he is still recovering from a hand injury he suffered during the fight with Stipe Miocic at UFC 226 in July. Even so, the champion confessed that his skills will be enough to beat his rival.

The title challenger believes Cormier is thinking it will be an easy fight for him. However, Lewis stated that believing this will be a crucial mistake for Daniel.

“Go ahead and think that. It's crazy that I even got this far with the training I put in before every fight. I'm serious, I'm not in the gym every day like my opponents. I spend probably 30 minutes (training), five minutes sitting and five minutes on my phone posting memes and stuff. It doesn’t matter to me that he’s going into a fight with just one bad hand,” concluded Lewis.
