Gallery Derrick Lewis def. Alexander Volkov at UFC 229: Best photos view 10 images

For almost his entire three rounds in the cage with Alexander Volkov, it looked as if Derrick Lewis would have rather been somewhere else. Then he won by miracle knockout with just 11 seconds left in the fight, and it turned out that the weirdness was only just the beginning.

Before his post-fight interview could even start, Lewis got our attention by removing his shorts and simply standing in the cage in his underwear (via Twitter).

Asked to explain this move, Lewis replied …

“Because my balls was hot.”

Asked to his explain his performance and the motivations behind his late comeback, Lewis responded with …

“I forgot a few hours before the fight, Donald Trump called me and told me I got to knock this Russian mother(expletive) out. They making him look bad on the news, him and Putin and (expletive). (Expletive) what they talking about. USA in this ho.”

Sorry, but did he claim to have received a phone call from the President of the United States? Furthermore, did he also claim that he had initially forgotten all about this conversation? Lastly, did he claim that, during said conversation, Donald Trump asked him to knock out the Russian fighter because “they making him look bad on the news, him and Putin and (expletive)”?

And oh, hey, what would “The Black Beast” think about edging closer to a title shot now that he’s beaten a top UFC heavyweight?

“I need to sit my black ass down and do some more cardio. (Expletive) what you talking about right now. I ain’t trying to fight for no title right now, not with no gas tank like that.”

Guess that about covers it. Anything else you’d like to add?

“Thanks for having me. Hey, next week or maybe two weeks from now, I’m gonna come on your show and smoke some weed with you.”
