Derrick Lewis defeated Rodrigo Nascimento in the main event of UFC St. Louis, adding another knockout to his record and celebrating in his customary “Black Beast” style.
Derrick Lewis? Yeah, he’s still the Knockout King. No doubts there.
Saturday night was something else. Lewis was up against Rodrigo Nascimento. The main event of UFC St. Louis. Two rounds of pure grit and then, boom! The legend of “Third Round Derrick Lewis” lived on. Nascimento got a taste of Lewis’s punches. Another knockout for the record.
And the celebration? Classic “Black Beast”. Lewis’s signature move of smashing the ground, followed by the usual pants-off routine. But he didn’t stop there. His cup flew into the stands, and he mooned the crowd. Just because.
The MMA world? They had a lot to say about Lewis’s big win and his, uh, unique celebration.
Bryce Mitchell (@ThugnastyMMA) had a suggestion for the media guy. “That media guy should’ve done a shoey out of Derrick Lewis’ cup. He woulda been a legend.” He tweeted that on May 12, 2024.
And that’s the story, folks. Another knockout, another celebration, and another day in the life of Derrick Lewis.
