Derrick Lewis fought his way back from an early blow to the stomach that looked like it might end his night early at UFC Halifax. He began dropping bombs, eventually taking out Travis Browne in the second round.
But once the fight was over, Lewis wasn’t done dropping bombs, as anyone that witnessed his post-fight interview can attest.

Fun heavyweight fight but horrible reffing! #ufcHalifax

Refs and judges in MMA are woefully inconsistent, even at the pinnacle of the sport in @UFC. Costs fighters jobs and brain cells #ufcHalifax
— Sean O'Connell (@realOCsports) February 20, 2017
Real life, @Thebeast_ufc is my new favorite fighter. Hurt bad to the body and pushed through. Any fighter can tell you how difficult that is
