I love how Derrick didn't even really get knocked out, he just suddenly decided he wanted to take a nap

[@LegendaryOne999]

@@lucask841 I was thinking the same thing that fall looks so intentional just now

[@SammyChabert]

I told the bud tender at my local dispensary. It was the day Lewis was fighting Gane in Houston. I told the guy Lewis gets tired easy and gives up. He won't keep up with Gane. The guy got so offended. "Lewis is american in his hometown we should be rooting for him" I was like I like Lewis but it's just facts he's gonna lose hes terrible. Lol that dude was pissed at me. That night when he lost I was wondering what that guy was thinking.

[@worldwolf9909]

The way Lewis fell it didn't seem like he was out, he laid down like he was going to bed, no face plant.

[@WILLIS.808]

100% - I remember watching and I thought he just gave up because he was hurt or tired. Never seen an unconscious person fall like that

[@crapmonstr]

its the same way he gave up against ciryl gane, either can't deal with the pressure or doesn't want to take too much damage and accepts the loss

[@NoSc0pe78yearsago]

Lewis quit

[@WILLIS.808]

@@crapmonstr yeah he’s kind of a prizefighter at this point, can’t take as much damage anymore. Similar to Diaz vs Lawler a year or two ago

[@fatpandaproductions6835]

Wham-Bam is a freaking Warrior 🤘

[@emielrous303]

Without weight restrictions the ideal ufc body is as heavy as possible. It helps with wrestling, prevents you from being taken down easily and simply leaning to fatigue your opponent becomes much more potent

[@xacex6944]

But you’d be very slow. A more athletic fighter with good cardio would outstrike you, and even though you can absorb strikes better, returning punches and kicks would be quite difficult if your opponent can move faster. Plus you’d have to be pretty fast to shoot for takedowns but fighters who are so heavy are very readable at that weight

[@suciooo]

WHY YOU CUT OFF THE SHOEY!

[@bricekatil7714]

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Looked a lot like a dive to me. Lewis braced his fall all the way down. He didn’t face plant like he would if he was “out”.

[@tylervasquez5001]

To be fair, he did take a lot of clean shots to the jaw, after the elbow, he was probably trying to keep his balance with one hand out, but maybe body just stopped working

[@orenkeithley5324]

Thays cause it is in slow mo in real time you can tell that his arms are limp

[@BreastMilkEnjoyerX]

Yes, that's what I thought as well. I doubt that this was a dive but the way he fell did not look natural.

[@kingt0295]

Lewis sometimes quits I don’t think it was a dive I just think he gave up bc he got hit w a good elbow and was like “nah”

[@tylervasquez5001]

Tbh Lewis doesn’t have the best recovery, he can take a few, but he’s usually done after
