The fact that this guy with absolutely no technical skill was a top HW for so long is embarassing

I’ve done some training in the past in sambo and Muay Thai. At 28, have been curious tbh. I mean seriously the blakov vs Tybura was embarrassing and they’re considered what top 10-15 hws? Smh. Lewis with no skills has beaten top fighters lol Maybe I’ll begin a YouTube series and document my training progress etc road to ufc hw . Dana likes that type of stuff

I remember when Volkov almost finished him then Lewis feigned like he was really hurt so Volkov went easy on him, then the came back with a KO. This is why I don't like Black Beast, these type of antics in the cage, and his dumb post fight speeches.

Absolute classic example of a Derrick Lewis fight plan. Volkov was all over him early. All it takes though is one error.
 
im sure OP has the technical skill to win a standup bout with a prime Mirko and would ragdoll prime nogueira three times

Lewis has the most KO's in UFC history. Beat Ngannou, KO'd Blaydes, Volkov etc. he's obviously passed it now, he's nearly 40.

But I do love it when the SherDog shits on a fighter after they're clearly passed their prime, and evidently start losing.

Sherdog goes crazy and says they were always garbage fighters.

This.
Jesus you lot are quick to shit on anyone.
It's not like the guys in his prime but his list of wins stacks up against most.
Ngannou basically won all his fights via a single punch remember.

Lewis was always average. Records are nice, but eye test is much more important. He was being easily outclassed in many fights he won, some against people who are already far from championship aspirations. A solid top 10 hw at best, because of his ko power only. He obviously had huge holes which were gonna be exposed at top 5 level since they were being exposed at top 10 level.

For fucking real. It's pretty obvious Lewis is done now, but he has had a hell of an impressive career. Sherdog can be real assholes sometimes.

How DC handled Black Beast is how an elite HW should've handled him. HW was such an embarrassing wasteland for so long. It's getting better again but still a long way to go.

Lewis would KO Big Nog and is far better than Brett Rodgers

Lol Lewis is skilled. People are delusional. DC and the men who beat him all regarded him as hard to takedown, keep down and or strike with because he is dangerous.

Prime Nog beat prime kharitonov, he even outstruck him. Prime kharitonov was both a better striker as well as much better grappler than Lewis.

Yeah you did not even watch the fight. And that was 1 fight. Nog was a garbage striker

Prime Nog. Yawn

Nog is the most overrated top 10 HW next to Randy Couture

Bader would have smoked Black Beast last night. Time to hang it up.
 
Give the dude a break, he's been in the UFC for over 10 years and has obviously lost a step. It's like comparing A Silvia's tail end of his career to when he was the most feared striker KOing people left and right.
Black Beast never had technical skills but always had the heaviest hands in the UFC, he just doesn't have it anymore. Father Time is undefeated.
