“So I really tried to sell it and make it look like he had gotten me in my eye pretty well – that's what happened. I caught him.
“Then I noticed that he was trying to pull himself with the cage and I am like 'come on, man'. He let me hit my own leg. I tried to beat my own leg. It was confused.”

Given that the entire fight lasted only 35 seconds, it seemed that Lewis was able to celebrate for longer in a bizarre manner than he competed. Before he even came to his post-fighting interview with Daniel Cormier, he was completely over and made a bizarre gesture after a bizarre gesture.

He then went off a bizarde interview in which he claimed that his next opponent was “his wife” and stated that it would be “ground and pound.”
