Derrick Lewis talks about Conor-Khabib Brawl at UFC 229
Derrick was recently speaking to TMZ and was asked if Khabib should be stripped of his belt. He replied, “No, he didn’t do nothing. He just jumped in the stands. He didn’t that guy, the guy really started hitting him.”
He was further asked what he thinks should be next for Conor Mcgregor, Derrick replied saying, “He made more money than I’ll ever make in this sport. So probably sit his ass down too.”
He was then asked if he feels Conor should retire to which he replied, “I know I would. He made life-changing money. He really doesn’t have to fight. I’m fighting just so I can take care of my family. I don’t fight just because I love it just that much. I’m fighting just because it’s a job for me.”
Lewis is now on a three-fight win streak and with his win over Volkov, he is currently ranked no. 2 in the heavyweight division.
