Derrick Lewis Sets New UFC Heavyweight Record

 

Derrick Lewis, an American fighter nicknamed "Black Beast," set the record for the most knockouts in UFC heavyweight history after yet another brutal finish at the "UFC Vegas 6" event Saturday.

A possible reason for why Lewis was so desperate to end the fight early is because he needed to go to the men's room, saying in his post-match interview that he was desperate for "a s---."

A Louisiana-born Texan, Lewis, 35, swapped shots with Aleksei Oleinik at the behind-closed-doors UFC Apex.

Lewis began the fight in fast fashion, unleashing head kicks and other significant strikes in an attempt to faze Oleinik.

In total, Lewis landed 35 of his 42 strikes and he ended the fight for good in the second round with violent ground-and-pound.

It was the 11th knockout win in the UFC for Lewis, a company record.
