Derrick Lewis went a little crazy in the Octagon after his win over Marcos Rogério de Lima at UFC 291 in Salt Lake City on Saturday night.
The 38-year-old heavyweight wasted no time attacking de Lima, sending his opponent to the mat with a flying knee and then jumping on top of him for the finish. The fight was stopped after just 33 seconds.
The win helped Lewis break a three-fight losing streak, and he was feeling extra saucy after his win.
Lewis channeled a past celebration by stripping off his shorts and doing the crotch chop a few times.
In his postfight interview, Lewis was asked if he had planned to take off his shorts after the fight. Much like he did in 2018, Lewis said he had taken off his shorts because his genitals were too hot.
Mind the offensive language:
Lewis is one of the bigger characters in MMA. He certainly showed off his humor and personality on Saturday night. He also reminded everyone just how much of a knockout artist he still is. Saturday marked his 14th knockout win in the UFC, which is the most in the promotion’s history.
