The 39-year-old Derrick Lewis faced Rodrigo Nascimento in the main event at UFC St. Louis. The โBlack Beastโ 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 didnโt 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 wasnโt 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.ย During the celebrations, the โBlack Beastโ even removed his cup and flung it into the audience, offering it as a souvenir.
This knockout marked the 15th of Lewisโ UFC career, setting a new record for the most in the promotionโs history. Itโs 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.
