rage quit more like it
Yeah I know right? These peopleSeriously, what kind of genius comes to Sherdog when they haven't watched the fights yet?
He's 32 and has a decent amount of mileage. Apparently he's been suffering from a back injury for a number of years.
With a big win tonight he had a shot for the title because the division is paper thin, and possibly a very big payday. With a loss to Hunt that gets snapped and he's back down toiling away.
His last officially reported payout was in Las Vegas 2016 against Nelson and it was 33k to show.
Derrick doesn't have a financial incentive to keep fighting because most of these guys are trading brain damage for peanuts.
uh.. did you ever take into consideration that 43 year old was born and raised there at whatever elevation new zealand is?He got out cardio by a 43 year old fighter. Maybe he should retire.
I did watch the event. I mean out of courtesy of others.What? Why are you sherdogging/bitching instead of watching the event?

derrick lewis is american and most likely did not fly out at least 2 wks prior to tonight to get acclimated and it CLEARLY showed tonight in his cardio, his cardio has NEVER looked that bad... derrick was doing fine in the first, just being cautious..
I am devastated he retired, he's THEE funniest UFC fighter currently and he WAS getting better each time we saw him compete.. I can't believe he just retired
i didn't say it was high..? i said and i quote "at whatever elevation new zealand is"Auckland New Zealand elevation = 643 ft
Dat high altitude though!

which simply means it doesn't matter WHAT it was.. lewis is from a different country completely, i would bet money he didn't fly out at least 2 weeks prior to the fight tonight to get acclimated & used to the time change probably got there a matter of days before, so.. his cardio suffered tonight and it was OBVIOUS, he's never shown us cardio that bad ...
