Watch: Derrick Lewis hilariously throws his cup into the crowd following UFC Fight Night win over Chris Daukaus

Derrick Lewis delivered another highlight-reel worthy performance at UFC Fight Night 199. 'The Black Beast' won the contest by unleashing a barrage of punches on Chris Daukaus, knocking him out in the first round.

During the post-fight celebration, Lewis took out his cup and threw it into the crowd.

One person from the audience decided to pick it up and keep it with him.

When asked by Michael Bisping about the reasoning behind his actions, Lewis said that he did so hoping whoever took the cup could make some money by selling it in the future.

When asked about his celebration in the post-fight press conference, 'The Black Beast' stated that it was the first time he had done something like that after winning a fight.

"It was the first time I threw my cup into the crowd. I was surprised that a dude pushed a woman out of the way to get that cup but it is what it is... I see him put it in his pocket. He went back and sat down with a big 'Kool-Aid' smile on his face," said Derrick Lewis.
