Derrick ‘The Black Beast’ Lewis, who is currently ranked #10 on the UFC’s official heavyweight rankings, was slated to fight Marcin Tybura in the co-main event of ‘UFC Fight Night: Manila’ this Saturday.<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the card was cancelled last minute after main event fighter BJ Penn was forced out of the fight with a rib injury. While the UFC initially blamed the card’s cancellation on strict drug testing procedures in the Philippines<\/a>, the Philippine commission was quick to respond with a statement that indicated that the card was indeed cancelled because of Penn’s withdrawal <\/a>given that the UFC Hall of Famer is a marquee fighter.<\/p>\n

\"UFC<\/a><\/p>\n

After it was announced that the card was cancelled, the UFC informed the fighters that they would be compensated for the card’s cancellation, however Derrick Lewis hasn’t received his compensation yet, and he’s ready to go to UFC President Dana White’s house to get it.<\/p>\n

He spoke to MMAFighting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“They woke me out of my sleep. I had like missed calls from my manager, and he told me he had bad news. I thought my opponent got hurt or something like that. He broke it down to me and said the whole card got cancelled. And I was just pissed. I said, \u2018are they still going to pay me?\u2019 He said he don\u2019t know, that we were going to talk about it this week. <\/p>\n

“I said, there ain\u2019t no talking about it, let me call Dana White or somebody to pay me, because I don\u2019t already don\u2019t like flying don\u2019t make me come all the way over here for nothing. So we\u2019re still waiting. I haven\u2019t anything from nobody.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lewis, who pointed out that he had to cut nearly 30 pounds in preparation of making the heavyweight limit of 265 pounds, is prepared to call White, or show up to his house if need be:<\/p>\n

\"UFC<\/a><\/p>\n

“Yeah I\u2019ll call him,” he said. “I don\u2019t got [a relationship with White], but my manager, I\u2019d make somebody give me his number and either I\u2019ll call him or I\u2019ll show up at his doorstep, either one. Somebody\u2019s going to pay me.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
