    I was at a UFC event a couple years back and when Derrick Lewis walked out, I was standing by the rail right where he walked past. As he passed by I yelled out Good Luck Derrick. It was very noisy but he heard what i said, he literally backed up a good metre and gave me a fist bump. It was extremely cool and i'll never forget it. BB is the man!

      Really? "No one wanted to help me while I was in probation for assault while getting a full scholarship at a college for playing sports." He could've gotten a part time job, attended his probation conditions. It's not anyone else's fault but his own. Ffs, making excuses for his failures and actions.

    Derrick Lewis was out there in Hurricane Harvey picking people out of the water and getting them to the safest point he could find. He has never shit-talked. And trains his ass off for his career. I LOVE MMA. But besides everything I've seen in that cage, I think that Lewis' awesomeness outshines his knockout power.

    Apparently, this happened when Lewis was in high school, and the person he assaulted was a KKK guy holding a shot gun and harassing people. But that guy didn’t get any jail time, just Lewis. Glad he has succeeded despite what happened, but that’s still f*cked up that he went to prison over something like that.

    "At the age of 17, Lewis began training in boxing and was preparing for his first amateur fight when the gym unexpectedly shut down. Two weeks after graduating from high school, Lewis was charged with aggravated assault, and was placed on probation. Two years later, while attending Kilgore College on a full scholarship for football, Lewis violated his probation and was sentenced to five years in prison, but ended up serving three and a half"
