Derrick Lewis is scheduled to fight Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC Fight Night 86 on April 10th, but he still has his eyes on Roy Nelson. Lewis and Nelson are rumored to fight later this year.
When Nelson got word that Lewis was going to fill in for the injured Ruslan Magomedov at UFN 86 in April, he made it clear he still wants the fight even if Lewis loses.
“Well I still want [Lewis] after he loses to [Gonzaga],” Nelson wrote on his Facebook page. “Can’t call a man out and not expect consequences!”
Nelson’s comments prompted Lewis to fire back, assuring him he’s still interested in the match up.
“Relax,” Lewis said on Twitter. “You will still get your turn to look up at the lights, old man. I PROMISE”
UFN 86 takes place on April 10, 2016 at the Arena Zagreb in Zagreb, Croatia.
