UFC: Derrick Lewis trashes Francis Ngannou after knocking out Chris Daukaus
- ‘The Black Beast’ starches Daukaus in round one on return to Octagon at UFC Vegas 45 on Saturday night
- After the win, American heavyweight hits champion Ngannou with a profane tirade
Not long after he knocked out Chris Daukaus in the main event of UFC Vegas 45 on Saturday night, American heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis turned his attention to Francis Ngannou – and he did not hold back.
Ngannou, the UFC heavyweight champion, is slated to defend his belt against interim champ Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 on January 14 in Anaheim California.
Lewis, whose record includes a decision win over Ngannou and a TKO loss to Gane, was asked for his thoughts on the match-up at the post-event press conference.
He claimed to have no dog in their fight, but did not waste the opportunity to share his thoughts on Ngannou.
“I really don’t care,” he said. “I don’t care who wins.”
“Ciryl is a good dude,” he added. “He’s a likeable guy. I couldn’t find anything wrong with him, personality wise. Outside of fighting he seemed like a pretty cool dude.
“Ngannou on the other hand, he can kiss my a**. He seemed like a d******* 24/7, so f*** him.”
