“I’m in the best shape I’ve been in a long time”
Derrick Lewis, who holds the most knockouts in UFC history with 14, headlines this week’s Fight Night in St. Louis in a heavyweight tussle against Rodrigo Nascimento.
“I tore both my shoulders a week before that fight against Almeida,” said Lewis. “The week of the fight, I had two ear infections. Everything just wasn’t working. But I’m entering this one healthy and comfortable.”Nascimento has looked impressive in the cage, albeit against a far lower tier of opponent. Lewis has evolved into a gatekeeper for the heavyweights, and he will be the judge of whether Nascimento can move forward in the division.
“I want those new Trill Burgers,” said Lewis, referring to a hamburger joint near his home in Houston. “I want the greasiest one, the Triple OG burger. That’s what I’ve been craving.”Hattan Alsaif is makes her PFL debut later today at PFL MENA 1, seeking a victory at the Green Halls in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“Having a contract with PFL, it’s a dream,” said Alsaif. “I worked so hard for this, and I want it so bad.”
