Where does Black Beast go from here...

[oscerthegrouch]

I am a fan of Black Beast but he look like he ran out gas there pretty fast and just couldn't get anything started what do you think

 

[Aluminati]

He showed up for a check, got tired, and rolled over.

 

[xhaydenx]

Putting that on the main card and then charging for it is diabolical.

Russian link bless.

 

[Trabaho]

Paycut. He earms too much for these insignificant fights. Offer him 100 k take or leave.

 

[goOb]

Black Beast decided, “yep that’s about as much as they paid me for” and clocked out.

 

[Gamer007]

Down the rankings.....


He can still cash a few more checks if he wants, but no more fighting anyone in or near the top 10. Hard to suggest retirement in this economy, 2-3 more fights to pay off any potential debt and keep adding to retirement savings.

He took some heavy heavy shots at the end, I honestly don't want to see him get hurt like that.

 

[Fight Professor]

PFL?

 

[DragRacer]

He heads to an ice bath to cool off his balls

 

[John Cena]

He's Nate Diaz tier. Won't be champion but will always bring the fans

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

back to fuckin Texas and hopefully never to appear again. i love Black Beast and wanted him to be the champion. but that shit was embarrassing.

watching that fight, it makes you wonder how shit is Tallison Texeira. all you had to do was move around a little and Black Beast would've beaten himself. instead he ran chin first into the only way Lewis can win.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

He's made it to the Bob Sapp Tour part of his career

 

[Dr. Stoppage]

With the way the rankings work does Lewis even lose ground for fighting up against a #5 contender?

Lewis time is probably tied to how many fights he has left on his contract.

 

[mooseman17]

Let him fight Hokit, it’ll be similar to his fight against Texeira, either he beats up an up and comer or they make a name off him.

 

[sdpdude9]

I mean, this is just kinda what Lewis does. He gets a highlight or he wilts and gives up. This fight didn’t make me think it was time to hang it up any more than any other loss he’s had.

As much flak as Paddy is rightfully receiving, he was at least as tough as nails and landed a lot of clean strikes on Gaethje. Lewis looked awful. I honestly think some of the earliest UFC strikers (Pat Smith, Gordeau, Rosier, etc.) could've beaten him tonight. He couldn't hit anything but air, was downed by a jab and didn't even try to fight off his back...just ate shots like a beached whale.

 

[Neck&Neck]

To the waffle house

 

[DragRacer]

Exactly.
He might shadow realm his next opponent and then we’ll be thinking “he’s still got it”.

[Thepaintbucket]

Why would he retire? Probably overpaid at this point. Borderlining Bob Sapp out there with his effort lol

i don't even know why Paddy is receiving flak. everyone basically expected him to get knocked out and he avoided that. people are saying this is par for the course for Lewis, but i don't know what they're watching. he's had many comeback wins where he had to absorb and recover from MUCH bigger shots than what happened tonight. there is no way to defend his performance tonight, he looked like he didn't even give a shit.

He looked ok in the first with the kicks and pressure but he gassed so fast.
