Derrick Lewis is a fighter who never fails to entertain. He recently secured the 15th knockout of his UFC career this weekend at UFC St. Louis. “The Black Beast” celebrated in typical Lewis fashion – by stripping off his shorts. However, this time, Derrick Lewis had another celebration up his sleeve for the UFC St. Louis crowd.
The 39-year-old Derrick Lewis faced Rodrigo Nascimento in the main event at UFC St. Louis. The ‘Black Beast’ hunted for the knockout and got it in the third round. Afterward, Lewis wasted no time starting his celebratory antics when the fight was called off. He took off his fight shorts like before and even mocked the downed Nascimento. He didn’t stop there as he slid his boxers off a bit and exposed his backside to the crowd at the Enterprise Center.
The fight started with Lewis landing a massive head kick and a takedown in the opening round. However, it wasn’t until the third round that Lewis sealed the deal. A minute into the round, he landed a perfectly timed right hand that sent Nascimento crashing to the mat. Lewis then followed up with a barrage of ground strikes before the referee mercifully stepped in to stop the contest. During the celebrations, the ‘Black Beast’ even removed his cup and flung it into the audience, offering it as a souvenir.
This knockout marked the 15th of Lewis’ UFC career, setting a new record for the most in the promotion’s history. It’s a remarkable achievement for a fighter who has been a fan favorite for years. This is all thanks to his unique personality and entertaining fighting style.
