Derrick Lewis

So before we kind of end this, I want to go back and just show you guys.

So also Johnny Walker, I think you should probably fight Derek Lewis.

That was my matchmaking for him.

Roberto Soldich, I think should fight like a Randy Brown.

Yeah, dude.

And also like hook it, uh, took that Derek Lewis fight way too soon after that Curtis blades fight.

So he was nowhere near a hundred percent in that fight.

So I'm actually curious to see what he looks like now that he's had a full camp and the steam from these wins, right? Like, uh, coach wink just tells me this guy's apparently just in the gym, like taking this thing super seriously, like not a party guy.

But regardless, bro, outside of the persona, one of the most impressive runs.

in ufc history to a title like you you go outside of the organization into the organization you fight on the white card now you're fighting at msg for the belt like that's insane shit yeah i mean

it's up there for sure you'd have to go through the list the uh the alex perera one was pretty special too given what he was able to do and everything yeah so there's been some good ones but in terms of heavyweights and you know even Brock Lesnar was a crazy one at heavyweight even though he had a setback early on like there's been some good ones but you can't say like he's not maximizing what he's being given like you know there there's better guys you could beat to get to a title than Curtis Blades and uh Derek Lewis at this stage but again that goes to show that there's a lot more to the game in 2026 than just going out there and winning your fights

Yeah, and complete obscurity and with whatever that he's doing just to get to this point is just ridiculous.

It was fake.

You know what I'm saying? Ask Derrick Lewis.

Ask Derrick Lewis.

It was fake.

You know what I'm saying?

Now, sometimes, if they're kind of even in athleticism, or there might be a slight athletic advantage, I actually think the technical fighter... you know, can shine out.

It was, what were they? The tie to Avasa, Derek Lewis fight.

Now it might be changing it, but I was never a certain anyone to win that as tied to Avasa because he's a better technical fighter than Derek Lewis.

And he's just as athletic as Derek Lewis.

I'm like, he's definitely going to win that fight.

This wasn't, one is a little bit different, right? I think Mick Parkin for a heavyweight, I really like him.

But this is what Hokit's asking for.

You know, he's beat Curtis Blades and Derek Lewis.

So he's beat two vets who have been around the game for a hot second.

So there could be that.

to fight him? Once I get the title, I mean, I'll give anybody a fight.

I mean, that motherfucker lost to Derrick Lewis.

You know what I'm saying? He lost to Curtis Blades.

He got raped by Curtis Blades.
