Pretty sure he's on one of the best contracts in the UFC which is wild. His skillset sucks but being the KO king and having longevity are good negotiation points.
He gets paid based on saying his balls are hot that went viral got him a title shot and fans. He was a very good fighter. Now he is rich and doesn't care to win no matter the cost, he quits relatively fast and he has fallen out of his prime. He just keeps on building on top of the balls is hot by saying other bizzare things. Other thing when he asked for Ronda. He got paid in his career trough talking. That being said he did have a lot of great fights. But at this point he looks like Arlovski. Getting paid tons of money while being irrelevant to the title. He was a great fighter, a top 7 HW, but key is was.
 
If I was him I would keep fighting forever.

He gets between 300k and 500k per fight and he either knocks someone out in quick fashion or gasses and turtles up so he can leave fast and without much damage.

Easy work, great pay.
 
That division is terrible, he can just keep knocking out the lower ranked guys and getting paid. A loss like this isn't new for Derrick.
 
I thought surely he injured his knee the way he just laid there after slipping. Really embarrassing display IMO. He should call it a day. Great career.
 
Embarassing performance. I don't mind him hanging around for a couple more but please, no more havign him fight 1-0 newcomers and killing potential prospects at the first hurdle. Pointless venture. Like, if Delija beats Spivac I have no issue with making that fight given Delija is late 30s himself.
 
He needs to retire. There is something very obviously wrong with Lewis's back, legs or hips because he can't move very well. For some reason he is not able to move laterally to his left at all.

He never takes a step to the left, his left knee is always straight and the leg positioned awkwardly. He kept backing up into the cage with lots of room circle to his left but never away but he didn't attempt it once... At one point Waldo circled to his right, and Lewis pivoted on his left foot in a weird way as if it was a wooden leg, like he couldn't lift it to move it...

At one point Waldo caught his right leg after a body kick, and Lewis couldn't move his left leg to get keep balance so he just let himself drop straight down to the mat.

I am really surprised it's never been brought up before

I remember his last fight people were saying something was up with his legs.

Look at his weird Bambi leg stance.

I see some more Aggravated Assault and reckless driving from him. Probably a car crash, too.

Hopefully the UFC cuts him for not fighting in fights
 
Its incredible how very few decent big men there are? They will keep him because this.
 
yeah it looks like he isn't even trying anymore. i mean he slipped, rolled over on his back and basically gave up. honestly it looked like something else, but ain't gonna say it.
