UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis Has come forward with another heated statement on his upcoming opponent.
Fighters have been looking to lock in a match up with former UFC heavyweight title challenger Francis Ngannou for some time now. Now Derrick Lewis will be throwing down with the rising knockout artist at UFC 226.
The highly anticipated fight card will go down July 7 for International Fight Week inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. The event will be featured live on pay-per-view.
Speaking on the UFC Unfiltered podcast, Derrick Lewis offered his thoughts on facing Ngannou.
“The thing about that fight is Stipe could’ve finished that fight a long time ago. The ref should’ve stopped the fight a long time ago when Stipe was on top of him. The guy didn’t throw any punches after the second round, he didn’t throw anything else and once Stipe got on top of him and started hitting him.. you know, if I was in that same situation, I’m not gonna just pepper shot him. I’m gonna let my full load out on him on his face, no homo.”
