Derrick Lewis and Alexander Volkov had one of the best fights of the night, but also one that left the fans endeared to Derrick Lewis by the end.

After it looked like the fight was going to end in the favour of Volkov via a decision, with only 20 seconds of the third round to go, Lewis launched a renewed attack on the fighter. The right hook caught Volkov unexpectedly, dropping him, and the blows that followed afterwards only put the nail in the Russian's coffin, as Lewis won, with 11 seconds to go.

It is what came afterwards, which set tongues wagging even more, as the audience could hardly contain their laughter when Derrick Lewis took off his pants following the fight.

A harassed-looking UFC official told him that he had to put his pants back on again, and he did. Later when asked about why he had taken his pants off, buy Joe Rogan, he said it was because his "b***s were hot", while later in an interview he said that it was because he had "orgasmed".

The entire situation is an unbelievably hilarious one, seeing that the fighter had knocked out the undefeated Russian up and comer, and the main topic of discussion since then has been about his pants.
