Derrick Lewis makes UFC history with a record-breaking knockout. Read about his incredible achievement and his journey in the UFC.
Derrick Lewis, also known as ‘The Black Beast’, has once again made waves in the UFC with a record-breaking performance. In his main event fight at UFC Vegas 6 in August 2020, Lewis showcased his incredible skills and knocked out Aleksei Oleinik in the second round. This victory marked Lewis’ 11th UFC knockout win in 2020, placing him at the top of the UFC heavyweight record book.
Lewis’ achievement is truly remarkable, as he now shares the title of the most knockout wins in UFC history with Anderson Silva, Matt Brown, Anthony Johnson, and Thiago Santos. The power and precision with which Lewis delivers his knockouts are unparalleled, solidifying his status as one of the most entertaining fighters in MMA.
However, amidst the celebration and post-fight interviews, Lewis found himself in an amusing situation. As he sat down for an interview with UFC commentator Paul Felder, Lewis couldn’t help but express his urgent need to use the restroom. Unaware that the interview was live on ESPN, Lewis hilariously exclaimed, ‘Yo, I gotta take a s***,’ causing Felder to burst into laughter.
Despite the comedic moment, Lewis’ focus and determination inside the Octagon are undeniable. In the years following his record-breaking knockout, Lewis has continued to dominate his opponents. He secured two more brutal stoppage wins over top contenders Curtis Blaydes and Chris Daukaus, solidifying his position as the promotions all-time leading knockout artist across all weight classes.
Lewis’ knockout power is matched only by his sense of humor, making him a fan favorite. From his iconic post-fight interviews, where he famously declared, ‘My balls was hot,’ to his call-out of Ronda Rousey after knocking out her husband Travis Browne, Lewis never fails to entertain.
However, Lewis is currently facing a challenging period in his career, with three consecutive losses. Knocked out by Tai Tuivasa and Sergei Pavlocich, and then submitted by Sergey Spivak in his last outing, Lewis is determined to turn the tide. A win at UFC 291 would not only extend his UFC record but also provide him with another opportunity to showcase his charismatic personality in an interview with Dana White.
As fight night approaches, fans eagerly anticipate Lewis’ performance. Whether he emerges victorious or faces another setback, one thing is for certain – Derrick Lewis will continue to captivate audiences with his incredible knockout power and infectious sense of humor.
