well at least he's honest
Kuwabara I love this about him. Gives him way more credibility. Hes legit!
I was going to same the same thing. I'm so used to boxers and mma fighters not owning up to bad performances.
For people who didn't watch the fight this is basically what happened Derrick Lewis back flared up and affected him and Francis was scared of losing his stamina so didn't want to throw punches.
there is more to it than just holding stamina , because if that was the case, Francis would have went all out punching in the 3rd. He got a reality check when he fought miocic, I don't think he ever got over that fight.
young Assassin what happen was they both were tip toeing towards each other chicken dancing
Derrick is genuine and honest!
Right after the Francis/Derek fight, Dana called CM Punk and Mike Jackson and apologized
I like how honest he is other fighters wouldn't say the truth like he just did.
*Take a break and come back better than before. ✅🙂*
Think it’s time to take Derrick to pasture. Hes useless. Hopefully he doesn’t mind to be on fight pass
most finishes in HW division in recent history and he's useless? C'mon man plus he is really entertaining on and off the octagon
I've never really been a fan of Darrick Lewis, nor a hater...just kind of indifferent. After this interview though I'm sold on him and have nothing but respect for his honesty. Despite his back issues he didn't BS about it and seems genuinely disappointed that he couldn't do more and that's hard not to admire. Here's to a healthy future and seeing him back to full form!
Stipe broke Francis...
Mike Valdez i bet that. Ur crying rn , butthurt thT dc did something that jon wasscared to try
Derrick and Rampage needs to collab on a TV show together. It would be a hit TV show 💯
He saved his fanbase with how honest he is here
He was upset when he got his hand raised. Chin up bro
You've got to appreciate that guys humility.
Thanks for the $360 man. Knew you'd pull off the decision. Get well soon brother ✊🏾
He still is most entertaining fighter in HW division
They fought harder during the weigh in!
This is why I'm a Derrick Lewis fan. He fesses up like a man, has a good heart, is powerful but humble, knows what he needs to do and admits it. I look forward to more fights from him.
Francis put about a million people to sleep tonight. Good job.
Derrick still a fan, you will beat yourself up but not everyone could do what you do. I hope you read this. You should rematch Mark hunt knock him out and hopefully that's enough for the title fight.
There ain't many people that would stand in front of Francis ngannou
young Assassin - lewis is the scariest dude ever. Can you imagine taking a shot from this guy? Hes a mack truck
You hope he reads this but you call him by a wrong name. He's not Derek. Dumbass...
Faiz Raja Curtis blaydes did an interview with MMAfighting he said he wants Francis next. He said he wants his rematch with Francis.
Always respect guys for being this blunt and honest
Respect to you, Derrick. Don't write yourself off. I would enjoy seeing you fight again.
Derrick you fought smart! You still tried your best but there was more pressure on Francis to show if he really was this crazy knockout machine. Shows that he isnt the well rounded and just hype
‘I got the win but I feel it put me 2 fights back’ Honest and humble very true statement.. get that back sorted and come back stronger
Derek is a Real Good Dude.... I Love his honesty!! Get Back Surgery and come back Stronger!!
I love at the end 5:43 Derrick notices that black cap and thinks like, "Hmm.. what have we here?", and then realises it's a UFC cap, "Naw don't need anymore of that..".
Great guy!!! is not easy to be that honest but man broke my heart to see such a boring fight. Take care of that back Derrick and hope to see you K.O the next guy they put in front of you.
I have back problems and I couldn't imagine being in a fight with my back feeling bad.Much respect to Derek Lewis for being honest.I hope he gets better,takes some time off and comes back strong. #BlackBeast
refreshingly honest & i still love the guy. hopefully he bounces back in his next fight
This man is so honest and humble. Good luck brother
Get this man DDP Yoga
Keeping it real... Got my respect
So cool guy so honest
DL and DC both great fighters and great role models for the sport .... everyone gets a bad night
How can you not love this guy..
Love his honesty
Never realized this guy was so Humble.
One of my favorite fighter, see you on the gram Beast!
I'm proud a man from Texas get a chance to be there God bless
LOL that last part was hilarious as hell.
Love the humbleness of Lewis. Hope he becomes champion one day
Derrick Lewis. Love this guy.
Francis and Derick deserve bonuses and fight of the night! Geez FOTY
Perfect interveiw after his fight, no bad feelings toward shim atall!
Black Beast... I don't care how you won. I'm just glad you got the W. You did what you could, being cautious bc you knew well you both knew the power you both have. Your leg kicks are sickkkkk!!!! That switch kick, though. Come on, now that was legit.
The Time Is Now Same bro, I was like WTF!? And he keep it real about his performance, Always ride w beast 💪🏽
Humble man
Most honest interview ever.
nice to see honest man after he pulls a W. respect
Love this guy ma man ✊✊✊
Im proud of lewis either way he got the W!
This was a great dance recital between these 2.
Much respect for Derrick
U gotta like this guy.
There is something really cool about this guy. Also puts a lot of pressure on himself.
What a man! This is real genuine masculinity. Like a knight.
Tip my cap to a man who steps up and calls it as it is... much respect Mr. Lewis.
Forever my favorite
Lmaoo this guy just be like I don’t how to do a take down coach
Rest up and get back in there big fella
Damn, this is why I like Lewis- he's ridiculously honest. I've never heard someone so honest that the journos are trying to make him feel better.
I think what we saw was brotherly love.
Respect for always keeping it real. Every dog has it's day.
Francis looked deflated and broken in there
Harry Rehnquist he's off the juice I'm happy he's not as swollen, and anyone who expected a slugfest was a casual
Jango Bango he’s sluggish cuz he had to lose weight he’s not on PEDs
At least he is honest about it
5:44 " should I take it? "
im glad he knows his performance wasnt good, lewis is a humble guy
Lewis is a good guy
Black Beast!! Didn't even see the fight yet but, respect.
It wasn't boring man. I was on the edge of my seat. Until it ended. And then I was all :-|
Pure honest
Why doesn't someone help/get him to strengthen his core? It's amazing how that alleviates so many back issues.
He's honest, I respect that. Work hard, come back fitter and stronger and more advanced than before, come with that animal!
The guy just can't stop trollin)))
He's the shack of mma the beast
Honest !!!!
Love this guy. He owned up to it and he'll be back stronger. Lucky for him and Francis, DC made history so this fight didn't receive much attention.
nngannou needs to train...hard...before ufv gives him another fight...I thought he was the real deal..now he luks like Kimbo slice!!
Derrick LewizzZzZzzzz
This guy is a vibe
his interviews are still far more entertaining than a Woodley or Usman fight is.
Derrick good job . Won 2 rounds, it was up to unganu to push the pace.
Fight of the century
Love ya Derrick - get that back straightened out, homey!
I have a ton of respect for his honesty....that fight was as confusing as Sonnen-Filho II, or Kerr-Duarte........just straight-up bizarre....
Uncle Dana if Derrick Lewis beat Ngannou and KO of the year Curtis Blades I think it's only right Stipe fights Derrick Lewis immediately for the belt
The fans wanna see a show but the fighters themselves have a goal and that’s to get the belt so the fans booing all they want is someone to get knocked out that’s all or even a dominant performance so they don’t have to go out and jeopardise that just because that’s what the fans want if you wanna see a show jump in that octagon and put your chin out there to get knocked out
*DL* work on that back brother.
What makes me mad is like make a move, the time is running out in the fight do something Francis your knockouts come from striking not sitting back and just waiting
5:43
IDK why that was funny to me.
! RIP BRYAN CALLEN
He is so refreshingly honest and humble, love this guy.
True Houstonian
JR JR already 😎🤘🏻
how you gonna call a guy humble when he disrespecting another African for not understanding English? I think he forgetting his roots just coz he born american and knows English.
@@extra6839 u mad haha
@@extra6839 Thats most Americans they heavily disconnected from Africa
