Derrick Lewis replied by simply stating:

“My ba**s was hot.”

Furthermore, Derrick Lewis proceeded to assert that he planned to improve his cardio and wasn’t looking to fight for the UFC heavyweight title with the gas tank he showcased at UFC 229.

One ought to note that Derrick Lewis did, however, fight for the UFC heavyweight title in his very next fight. Lewis faced then-UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier for the title at UFC 230 in November 2018 and lost the fight via second-round submission.

Presently, Derrick Lewis is set to compete in a fight that’ll mark his second shot at the UFC heavyweight belt, albeit this time around it’ll be for an interim belt. Lewis is scheduled to face Ciryl Gane for the interim UFC heavyweight title at UFC 265 on August 7th, 2021. The winner of this fight is likely to face reigning UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a title unification matchup.
