Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Derrick Lewis has completed his contract and could explore free agency.
At UFC 291, Lewis fought the final fight on his contract, and reminded everyone watching why he’s a must-have talent on the roster. “The Black Beast” needed just 33 seconds to finish Marcos Rogerio de Lima after darting across the cage at the start with a flying knee ala Jorge Masvidal vs. Ben Askren.
Since 2014, Lewis has been a mainstay in big spots on UFC cards. But is it time for both parties to go their separate ways? Could a massive payday be right around the corner if Lewis were to go to the PFL for a potential massive rematch against Francis Ngannou? Lewis has said he wants to stay put for one more run at the title, but is that his best option?
Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Danny Segura, Farah Hannoun and Brian “Goze” Garcia discuss potential options in Lewis’ future with “Gorgeous” George Garcia.
