Derrick Lewis said “I got to take a s**t” on Live TV

UFC star Derrick Lewis incredibly said, “I need to take a s**t” on live TV after beating Aleksei Oleinik at Fight Night in Las Vegas.

The black beast was scheduled to have an interview with Paul Felder to discuss his victory.

Lewis revealed he needed to rush to the bathroom on live TV.

The Interview

The American heavyweight, 35, secured a record-breaking knockout after stunning his opponent with a flying knee.

But as he prepared to speak to Paul Felder to discuss his victory, Lewis revealed he needed to rush to the bathroom.

With Felder asking his first question, ‘The Black Beast’ – appearing to speak to someone off-camera – said: “I need to take a s*, man.”

The interviewer laughed it off and responded: “Well, listen, we’ll get to that in a second. Can you hear me, brother?”

Lewis replied: “Hello? Oh yeah yeah what’s up?”

Felder then cracked on with his questioning, suggesting Lewis could rush off and empty his bowels as soon as he was done.

The comment received a mixed reaction on social media with some labeling it “hilarious” but others found it “cringe”, “fake” and “forced”.

Incredibly, it is not the first time Lewis has talked about needing to do a No2 on fight night.

Previous Such Moments

In 2017, when he beat Travis Browne, he claimed he grabbed his abdomen after taking a kick “to try not to st on myself”.

He said: “I’m holding my gas in and trying to breathe at the same time.

I just didn’t want to st in front of national TV, especially with the internet going around and making memes – no I can’t have that.”

Spitting in Opponents Food

In the build-up to Saturday’s headline fight, Lewis caused controversy by spitting in Oleinik’s food.

The pair were sent food by the UFC’s Performance Institute but a mix up meant Lewis got his hands on his and his opponent’s meals – and filmed himself gobbing in the Russian’s dish to add “flavor” to it.

K.O Record

In the Octagon, Lewis secured a KO early in the second round, jumping up with his knee to bring Oleinik down.

He then pounded the 43-year-old with a series of sickening blows to the head before the fight was stopped.

And the victory meant he secured his 11th KO in the UFC, more than any other heavyweight in history and tied for second with four others across all weight divisions.

Lewis said: “It’s crazy. I still can’t believe that I’ve got the most knockouts. It’s a crazy feeling because of all the great heavyweights before me.

“Watching Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez, all those guys for all those years. Seeing they didn’t accomplish what I did, I’ve just gotta stay humble about it.”
