Derrick Lewis: I really don't care about the HW title

[GOATtalks]

Well, he knows, 3-4 recently and unless he can string a few wins he wont sniff a title shot and he has a foot out the door already.

DC and what other fight?

Gane for the interim

 

[Last Falconry]

semi-reliable heavyweight with decent name recognition is pretty much the most lucrative career path MMA has to offer aside from actually being champ. for him, the difference is probably marginal

He is probably exaggerating it, but he might not have negotiated this one well if he isnt getting paid accordingly.

Texans don't pay state income tax.
I could see him making a big deal about it since NV, and FL are also income tax free states.

Palharas Imanari Lewis incoming

Pretty sure we'd lose out collective sh-t.

This is why Sherdog needs the upgrade.

Not entirely honest. He cares about the money. Being the UFC HW champion would get him a lot more money than not being the champion. He’s had two shots at a belt. One undisputed TS. And one IC. But he was finished in both fights.

I think he knows he’s just not at that level. So he just fights. Anybody, anytime. But of course he cares about the title. If he had lost his last fight he was probably not going to get re-signed. So it’s just easier to say being the champion doesn’t matter. But that’s not being honest. There’s not an athlete on this planet that doesn’t want to be the champion.

Mostly honest.. but not completely honest. That’s good enough, though. It’s just some insulation he’s built around himself, imo. But deep down.. Of course he wants to win and be the champion.

I don't care about bagging Halle Berry bro. I'll just bang the fat tub of lard down at the local pool hall instead.

<<<This guy still bitter about the time he had money on Ngannou beating Lewis.

 

[Egészségére!]

Just dropped $3 on Lewis by sub @ +3500 for a $108 return because of this thread

If it lands I'll hook you up TS

Seems like Lewis is throwing a feint from the Interview.

That makes sense, i knew Nevada doesnt have state taxes, if he fights there opposed to some crazy taxing country like Australia, not sure Brazil then yeah he feels like he is getting robbed, lol, thats on him and his manager.

Leg lock

 

[Goatenstein]

Lewis should pull guard tonight and get a triangle.

 

[Ladder Master]

I was reading about Derrick Lewis and saw this video. Just get up.

 

[Spath]

Wouldn't surprise me

He really went with it! At least through the motions, if he didn’t have a clear idea what to twist and how. Haha, thanks for posting this! It’s great and I had no idea that happened

Might be slow to(every?)day; but you lost me.

Never talked taxes with my cousins; but I remember former clients down there loving me when I was on Wall St since their accounts were held in the states.

On the other hand, if you're sitting in cash, they were paying something like 12%.
That was maybe 6-7 years ago, though; and as I understand it's all over the place.

Re on him and his manager: 100%

 

[Stump]

I dont care either? Reason? Glad u asked, just like Derrick i have no chance of winning it.

You're welcome

Was gonna make a similar post.

I'll add hw championship to the list of things I'm not concerned about. Along with world famous astrophysicist and underwear model.

Sherdog needs the upgrade to handle the bandwidth of a collective freakout when Lewis whips out his flying imanari roll.

 

[Blue_Ribbon]

Lewis is top entertainment. Always enjoy if he's fighting.

 

[BigTruck]

Lewis following up that flying knee KO w a leg lock on Almeida is an insane timeline

Lewis via any submissions is insane lol, I remember when pat berry actually tried to go for a submission on lavar Johnson and mark hunt tried and armbar on Ben rothwell too

 

[tasticles]

He fights for money, not legacy, a belt or anything else.

Just money, which is fine.

His fat ass isn’t a championship caliber fighter anyway.

He could possibly win a title with his KO power but highly unlikely he keeps that title for long.

He's like a black mark hunt. You can never fully count him out. Power and durable.
