Derrick lewis GOAT at being interviewed
And Ring and post fight interviews lmao
Nah McGregor or Chael
Or Nate Or Nick
How dare you disrespect Artem 😤😤😤
Rampage is the goat
I never thought anyone could make me cheer against DC in the LHW or HW divisions but Derick Lewis did just that. This fight isn't for the belt, it's for FREE CHICKEN FROM 2-4 PM!
Which Popeyes in Houston is it
Trump, take note.
Same here bro.
I'm a vegetarian but I do think it's pretty cool. Let's do this shit LEWIS!!!!!
Who else is gonna be there?? I don't even fuck with Popeyes but I'll make the drive for the freeeeeeeee
the way he throws around jokes with a serious face gets me every time
I'm still trying to figure out if Popeyes is even sponsoring him or of it's all a joke! Lol
DGRIFF! Nope it’s real check his Instagram
Deadpan humor
I thought he was serious when he was charging for the interview lol
Gregory Hill lol most people keep a straight face when they lie
“Sometimes they think I’m Shaq”🤣💀
I lost it there
Hes just that type of guys who say crazy shits hahaha
Nick Beard He would kick Shaq’s ass
I lost it when he said “no comment” when asked if he would be happy if Ariel retired
ApeHead the dude is a fucking gem for the ufc
Man I hope he land one of those haymakers, always rooting for the underdog
Lil Dagga imagine but no way
Lil Dagga he throws straight rights mostly. DC throws haymakers
Lil Dagga but dc will out wrestle him all day so it’s almost stupid.. lol
Lil Dagga bet you wasn’t rooting for MCGREGOR
DC is going to beat him fast. This fight is a Joke.
Black Beast: The People's Champion
@iRunBHO What? No. Go away.
Actually, Paul Wall is the people's champ. Also a Houstonian.
@iRunBHO Spence and Charlos brothers are from Texas aha
Love derrick lewis, funny as hell.... But Minowaman is the real peoples champ
You mean the Popeye's champion
I never wanted someone to pull of an upset so much in my life
war lewis !!! dc is duking jony bony jones and try to get an easier fight , war lewis !!!
I know seriously... Don't get me wrong I love DC but I love love love love LEWIS 😁
Captain Kid so badly
“Are you retiring?”
“No, would you like that?”
“No comment.”
🤣
Derrick Lewis the type of dude who shows up at your Bar-B-Q with nothing eats your ribs. And then leaves with leftovers
Gotta do whatever it takes to feed the family.
Nacho jazz thats what my family members do haha
Done with this stupid joke. Come up with your original shit
He makes to go plates, before he drinks all of your beer. Then leaves! But, God bless him!!
Now he's bringing da chicken!! Gotta love it!
After seeing this interview I like this guy more frfr nice guy
coreytheman he got a crazy story, was locked up for beating a guy who was after him with a shotgun when he got out he started fighting
Reminds me of evander holyfield
Popeyes is the black beast's new nutritionist lmfao
Yessss blacks. Yesss. Keep eating dat fried food.
Michael Cervero new? I doubt it looks like this nigga bleeds chicken grease 🐤 💦
I DON'T CARE what anybody says you CAN'T say Derrick Lewis isn't a real person who just does what he wants, NO FAKE BS, its refreshing for UFC
That's the Texas in him
True
Derrick Lewis changed Popeyes chicken's bum life.
Siegler Mariano 😂😂
LMAO
im going to popeyes just for lewis this saturday night
@@oneskillpoint4669 You can`t beat Chic Fil A............... Shit is delicious....If only they merged with KFC and swapped out the waffle frys for KFC wedges
I love how no one is mentioning Church's as if they haven't been better than Popeyes for awhile now.
“”If he didn’t disrespect Popeyes we wouldn’t be here to begin with”. 😂
How can you not love Derrick Lewis?? This guy is the fucking Interview Goat!😂🙌🏽💯

Literally fighting to feed his family. Love this guy. Hope he bangs Cormier out
Derrick "he disrespected that Popeyes chicken commercial"
Anyone has a link of that commercial? Lol
@Le3-6 Mafia fr tho

*Popeye's chicken for lunch and dinner every day. His kids better get used to it.✅🙂*
Shut up

@@chrisnga6910 ah don't know
@@jdog569 eee
“Yeah they recognize me, they think I’m Shaq”
Dude seems like such a good guy. People think he’s shaq in Houston. 😂😂😂
Derrick always gives priceless interviews.. he's freaking hilarious
I like Derrick and DC, this is one of those fights where I don't want either of them to lose.
Ariel Helwani always behind some of the best interviews in the mma world. Thank you!
5:37 best ending to an interview ever 😂😂😂
He seriously hates doing media lol. Which makes his interviews pure gold.
"How much are they paying you? what's the contract" - Ariel the Weasel Helwani
@Blayne Nichols y'all bitches still watched 🤔😂
Leon Roberts the weasel lol that's great
Hahahaha
His answer about people recognizing him it's just that sometimes they thought he was Shaq got me laughing 😂
He has one in a million shot.... And I'm still rooting for him!! LETS GO DERRICK!!!
Dirtie Mits
It's UFC heavyweights, anything can happen.
@@insomthegreat Yeah, I also just checked the odds... He is about a 4.5 to one underdog. Not 1 000 000 : 1
Derrick is the most likeable guy to ever to fight in the UFC! His sense of humor is great.
"I wouldn't thought you were high off some meth." 😂😂😂
It truly is great to see this guy doing what he does. Super humble, local to Houston, he’s a good rep for our city. Happy for him and proud of him
Ariel is such an instigator nerd
Player 1998 not any more!! He used to be though big time.
Player 1998 i wanna slap him sometimes
Player 1998 A zionist what do u expect
Loved the instigation questions. Best reporter ever imo
Better than rogan or any of the sheep at UFC
Quite humble and a fierce competitor. These are the people that are extremely dangerous.
“I would of thought you was smoking meth”😂😂😂
The last sentence😂
Grady Flint the Jaguars 😂😂😂😂😂
high on meth lol
I lost it lmao
Popeyes across the street lol, my brother still lives in the hood, hopefully he'll upgrade later on.
*If he taps Cormier's scalp, he's the next champ!!!!*
RAY POETREE DC will destroy him
@@joshuagualtier *Destroy is a word too easily thrown around. DC should defeat The Black Beast however, if Derrick makes contact with his skullcap... he's taking a nap!!*
@@rayzrealm He destroyed him
“I’m doing this to feed my family anyways.”
One of the greatest heavy weight punches of all time in the UFC👊
Haven't had popeyes in a while. Need to go grab some!
I love this guy. He is so humble and frank in a funny way. Hahha
How does Lewis look 20lbs lighter since 229? Lol
He told Bisping and Kenny that he upped his gym time from 30 to 35 minutes.
FireMrshlBill no he said 3 hours stupid nich
A lot of people want Lewis to land a miracle punch and pull off an upset... as much as I love him and want him to win, you gotta think about how much bigger the DC vs Jones fight can be for us fans if DC and Jon win both their fights.
#Myballswashot
#HotBallz
I just seen your D rose comment 😂
Tats was funny but when joe Rogen was like I understand....haha
Ppl like u ruin everything
Shit is not funny anymore
Derrick has PLENTY of one liners
Let it die
azure skii if it isn’t funny to you why even take the time out of your day to relpy to a nobody like me? You could’ve kept scrolling
Two awesome fellas fighting this weekend, good luck to both of them
I can't wait to witness Popeyes Powered Lewis
Truly an unstoppable force of nature
This fight will hurt my heart. I love both of these guys so much. The greatest champ the UFC has ever had VS the lovable underdog
Why people say we look alike?
I can take yo girl you Lowkey sexy af
I can take yo girl dogggg
I can take yo girl yo is that your real face ahahaAa that’s pretty tight I guess 😂
J Black He reminds me of the little man movie.
Imhighdontattack haters gona hate but they ain’t gona hate to face though 👀
A+ personality and character.
I'm going to eat at Popeyes tomorrow, hell yea
Really hard not love this guy. Keep it real, never change.
Helwani: “One could say that guy deserves a bit of a cut!”
...
Lewis: “Ah yea nah”
🤣🤣
How can’t u like this guy just a humble man
😂😂😂😂
I love this guy 😂😂
We have two terrible men at the top of the heavyweight food chain 😂
This is probably the funniest guy in the ufc ever lol. This dude never fails to make me laugh
joe rogan bwahaha. damn this guys is funny. so quick witted. his demeanor belies how intelligent he is. love dc but i hope he wins.
Im confused; do you think this is an interview with Joe Rogan? or do you think you are speaking to Joe Rogan directly?
he was teasing ariel. giving rogan credit for the idea that ariel had during an interview from the mma hour a while back.
Ya he's gonna win. Go put down a couple hundred bucks and make a g like I'm going to
Brandon Bassani and he didn’t win lol , where’s your g now boy 😂😂
Derrick lewis is one of the most real guys hasnt let the fame get to him hes a awesome guy
He should order like $1,000 worth of chicken in 1 day and give it to the homeless
He'd probably partner with Popeye's and they'd make it a huge promotion especially if he wins.
@joecugo get your rude ass out of here
@@9xx1997 Lol bruh it's true. most people are homeless cause they're drug addicts or mentally ill, and on drugs. People who panhandle for a living make a lot of money and can afford food easily.
@@Kevin32001 you cant sell chicken for crack money though lmao
Ricky Figueroa No shit, that’s not the point though. When you don’t spend money on food you spend more money on drugs.
This nigga is a gem lmao 😂 protect this man at all cost
High off some meff
Azariah Pena that was some funny shit
Mpho Mmopi indeed it was😂😂
Haha I was scrolling through to see if anyone got that lol. Last second comment haha high off some meff
"Yeah"
this dude is so real, so humble and just himself! love watching him just talk lol
Stocks for Popeye's will skyrocket if Derrick Lewis wins this fight tomorrow
Honest as blade, love this kind of guys
Derrick Lewis tha 🐐
He has been the GOAT for time bro.
Everyone should aspire to be like Derrick Lewis, doing shit for yourself not for others approval
when a dude is way bigger than the opponent and has bombs in his fists is still the underdog
My first Derrick interview. Cool man.
Let’s go Derrick!
This guy is so humble,you ask him about anything he'll make his family come in between❤I'm rooting for you to smack dc with that right hand!!
I eat popeyes 5 days a week. Never gets old
Just a down to earth guy. Humble and regular. I like him
5:49😂😂
That last statement was gold!!
how does ariel not know derrick is originally from Louisiana?
He does he was joking
This guy is so likable.. Hope he keeps winning!
Holy shit he looks great
He's got a chance now
What a guy lol. How can you not like this man?
Shouldn’t of said he lives in front of that Popeyes
You thinking about stalking him?
insomthegreat no
@@brandeeno2846 he's gonna stalk him 100 percent
Him and errol spence got that same funny super slow sense of humor !
Unfortunately he's gonna get slammed and finished.
DC wont be able to finish. DC wins by decision if he can survive
@@vonbell3415 He knocked out Stipe! Lol
Agree
DC gonna KO DL
He's a cool dude. One of the realest, down-to-earth, & humblest fighters out there.
The most stereotypical thing a man has ever said. ROFL!
"Im just trying to feed my family" so humble keeps its real don't change ✊🏽
Are u retiring no comment say what you gotta say first 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Derrick lewis is the coolest dude in the ufc, funny af, humble, n he doesnt give a fuck
I'm bougee now haha
Don't know if he's high or genuine but his eyes towards the last couple question looked glazed over. Maybe even a bit teary eyed. POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL DERRICK the black beastttff
Only a Black man would be super excited about a Popeyes contract.
you dam right , I don't think you gotta be black to be hyped about that lol
I’m not black and would be excited as hell. Love me some Popeyes !!!
Who wouldn't be. Unfortunately its a bad idea for him because of his weight, and being an active fighter.
I'm yellow even I'm excited
@@dsoceanking4606 no
Derrick "Popeyes chicken is fuckin awsome!" Lewis
High on sum meff
This guy is very laid back and chill... glad everything is going well for him
You can see in his face that he doesn’t like helwani
capcomfan82 That’s how he always is.
This is the most real person you will ever hear talking!
Ariel is a horrible interviewer. Questions are repeats, he cuts of people talking, and is a gossip columnist with a mic
how can you not love Derrick Lewis
I fw D.Lewis and H-Town but ill knock him out on my mama.
Man, I really like Derrek Lewis. I can tell he is a humble human being and sincere. I hope he does really good for himself and his family. Also a Popeyes chicken contract?.! Lol... that is so freaking awesome!!!!
Gotta love this guy. Humble as hell.
I love how humble, and funny Lewis is.
