Derrick Lewis makes noise again as he once again silences his critics in fashion. He recently knocked out veteran Aleksei Oleinik in the headliner of UFC on Vegas 6.

During the fight, “The Black Beast” went straight to landing strikes instead of showing his strategic assault. He landed 35 significant strikes before knocking Oleinik out in the 2nd round.

The Black Beast” is now fourth ranked heavyweight contender and would surely be looking to the top three to get a title shot.

With this in concern, Lewis’ name has already surfaces into a social media callout with Curtis ‘Razor Blaydes’. He responded to these call outs soon after his victory at Vegas 6.

In the post-fight conference, Lewis was asked to speak on his upcoming plans. Without an inch of doubt, he has hinted at the top three contenders.

Blaydes has teased Lewis steadily for a potential fight. But “The Black Beast” also has other names on the card.

“You know Curtis Blaydes makes sense, Ngannou makes sense, Overeem makes sense, we will just see what happens next week,” Lewsi answered.

But it seemed like the 35 year old has some particular interest with Blaydes. As per Lewis’ view, Blaydes will be looking to defeat him via the judge’s decision, if they ever face-off inside the cage.

However, igniting the fire, Lewis has also said that he won’t keep the decision for judges.

That will be perfect to fight Curtis Blaydes. So all he is gonna do is shot a ground at me, then hold me, try to win by decision. He is not going to try to finish me. If he do try to finish me, that’s fine, but I believe I could take Curtis down and punish him on the ground. Yeah, put that on the headline, he said.

He further added that he will finish Blaydes. “I am gonna take Curtis Blaydes down and finish him,” stated Lewis.
