UFC Knockout leader of all time Derrick Lewis has a long task (literally) for him for his reported Octagon recitement.
Derrick Lewis remains one of the most intimidating, destructive forces in the UFC after an abundance of wild finishes in the Octagon. While the heavyweight division of the UFC is waiting for clarity on the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall fighting negotiations, waiting Lewis and a few other contenders in the wings on a shot on the belt.
During his career, Lewis has adopted some of the most difficult heavyweights in the UFC history, including Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov. While Lewis falls short in his UFC title ambitions, he remains one of the biggest fan favorites in the promotion.
But although Lewis has confronted almost every puzzle that is conceivable in the heavyweight division of the UFC, there are little comparable to what he is said to be confronted.
