Derrick Lewis did it again. Very late into a fight he was losing, ‘The Black Beast’ scored a starching knockout over contender Alexender Volkov at UFC 229. On Twitter, pro fighters were surprised and impressed with the outcome, as Lewis finished the fight with only 11 seconds remaining in round 3.
Time for The Black Beast to do what The Black Beast does… #UFC229

I’m going to take volkov on this one I think. But Lewis will always win the ridiculous mic game #ufc229

Unofficial stat, so far Lewis and Volkov covered more ground in their walk out than they have inside the octagon. #UFC229
