The 'target days' of Derrick Lewis are definitely close to the end. The heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg), record holder for knockouts in the UFC, is tired of being challenged by so many fighters in the organization and, to put an end to the challenges, he had an unusual idea, to say the least.
In an interview with 'MMA Junkie', Lewis used humor and exaggeration to express his frustration with the fact that he was constantly being challenged by prospects. He ironically suggested that he would do something so embarrassing and absurd that no one would want to face him again.

“I think what I need to start doing now, after I knock guys out, is stick my finger up their asses. You know, that way no one will want to challenge me later. If I start sticking my finger up my opponent’s asses while he’s knocked out on the ground, I don’t think anyone will want to call me out, not even Diddy. If that’s what I have to do to stop people challenging me and talking shit about me while I’m trying to stay cool… let me stay cool,” said Derick Lewis.
