Lewis says he has no fear of dos Santos ahead of Wichita bout. MORE:
Derrick Lewis has fought some of the toughest and hardest hitting heavyweights the UFC has to offer. In his previous two fights he knocked out Alexander Volkov at UFC 229 in October and more recently suffered a second round, submission loss to champion Daniel Cormier at UFC 230 the following month.
“I believe I’ve fought some pretty tough guys, the fights that I have seen him in, against Cain Velasquez, I was rooting for him, I wanted him to beat Cain and he let me down many times,” said Lewis. “I haven’t really seen him fight since USADA, the biggest thing he had before that is that he didn’t have USADA,” said Lewis. “He’s not on the juice anymore, so I’ve erased all of those fights. He’s had two fights since he got popped, so I have to watch those fights.”
“I turned two fights down, I turned Stipe down and I turned Overeem [down],” said Lewis. “They wanted me to fight Stipe in January, I needed some time off. I’m feeling good now about it, that was coming off a broken hand from the Volkov fight.”
