Derrick Lewis

I have a lot of anger built up in me from my childhood. My wife and kids are the only ones who give me peace in this world. ”

I'm fighting just so I can take care of my family. ”

There's nothing I really want to accomplish. I already set my family up pretty good right now. ”

If I'm the champion, the whole UFC division should be ashamed of themselves for a guy that had no damn skills being the champion. They should all just go relocate somewhere. ”

I throw so hard because I sit and wait for that perfect moment. ”

I tell people all the time that it would be good if they forget about me next week, that they don't even mention my name anymore. ”

I've been in deep waters a bunch of times in my fights. ”

I made my third parole and I believe if I had made it the first time, I wouldn't be here today. I still would've been out there doing stupid stuff. ”

It's like I say all the time, it's the heavyweight division. It doesn't matter if the guys a black belt or if he's a world-class boxer. We still have a 50-50 chance. ”

That would be great if I could be a role model or inspiration to those who have been in my shoes before. ”
