Over the weekend, streaking heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis stepped onto the canvas with veritable MMA legend Mark Hunt. Lewis sought to extend his win-streak to a whopping seven-straight, and maybe, earn himself a shot at UFC heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic.<\/p>\n
Regrettably for Lewis and his fans, Hunt proved to be too much. As Lewis faded in the third and fourth rounds, Hunt turned up the offense, cracking the exhausted American repeatedly until the referee had no choice but to step in.<\/p>\n
Shortly after this loss to Hunt, Lewis surprised the MMA community by announcing that the fight might have been his last ever<\/a>, citing a lingering back injury as the problem.<\/p>\n In the immediate fallout of this fight, two of Lewis biggest rivals took to social media to comment on his loss, and his potential retirement.<\/p>\n One of these rivals was\u00a0French heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou<\/a>, who criticized Lewis’ performance and called him a baby:<\/p>\n Lewis said I win Arlovski because he’s old with 37 but Mark Hunt 43 years old beat he like a baby<\/p>\n \u2014 Francis NGannou (@francis_ngannou) June 11, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
