Derrick Lewis Reveals Own Family Members Root Against Him - MMA Fighting

[@bback4072]

Ariel: Let’s not wait 9 months to do this again Derrick: Alright we’ll do 8 😂😂😂😂

[@TravisJ10]

For as much as he jokes around he's actually very honest at the same time. Even admitting that the pressure during his title fight was too much to handle.

[@aaronst.pierre3080]

Yea man, I love this guy as a human being from the rescue efforts in New Orleans, to his honesty pre and post fight, to his fighting style and no nonsense attitude. And also how humble he is with his time and how honest he us about his life and family. Best wishes!
