“New mythical fighter unlocked” – Fans shocked as heavyweight wada Derrick Lewis reveals abs at UFC 291 weigh-ins

UFC heavyweight fighter Derrick Lewis has been a huge fighter even though he fights amongst the heavyweights. ‘The Black Beast’ of the UFC has gradually gotten bulkier since his debut in 2014. While fans are now used to seeing a much heavier version of Lewis, he surprised everyone by pulling up with abs at the ceremonial weigh-ins.

Derrick Lewis, as of now, is on the biggest losing streak of his career. His last win came in 2021 against Chris Daukas at the Fight Night event. Since then, Lewis has lost 3 fights and will soon fight Marcos De Lima at UFC 291. Despite competing for the heavyweight title and the interim heavyweight title once, Lewis will likely fight in the Prelims of UFC 291.

Due to his lousy cardio, Lewis has not performed exceptionally well in his last couple of fights. Several fight fans had already considered Lewis washed, and fighting on the preliminary card only strengthened their beliefs further. However, Lewis promised to show up with abs at the weigh-ins. Given Derrick’s comedic nature, many wrote this off as a joke and had no expectations as well.

Yet, Lewis kept his promise and attended the ceremonial weigh-ins in great shape and abs. The physical transformation from Lewis has fans believing, the ‘Black Beast’ has rekindled his fire. Several are astonished by Lewis pulling up to the weighing scale with the abs and look forward to his performance.
