Derrick Lewis thinks it might be time for Stipe Miocic to think about retirement following his knockout loss to Francis Ngannou at UFC 260 because, according to ‘The Black Beast’, he’s too ‘punch drunk’ to continue fighting.

Dana White almost pities the man who tried to steal Derrick Lewis’ car.
During a recent appearance on the “Big Night Breaks” podcast, White explained the situation and joked about how unlucky the thief had been in selecting ‘The Black Beast’ as a potential victim.
“Actually, I don’t know if you saw but Derrick Lewis, somebody was just breaking into his car,” White said. He caught him, picked him up, slammed him on his head and knocked him out and waited until the police came to get him. That car needs to go up in value just for that.”

Derrick Lewis believes the reason his fight against Francis Ngannou is yet to be made official is due solely to the inaction of the champion.
New UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has made no secret of who he would love to face in his first title defense, Jon âBonesâ Jones. The problem is that Jones and UFC President Dana White are engaged in an epic blinking contest as opposed to good-faith negotiations. This has opened the door for The Black Beast, and he has glided right through the #1-contender portal while being proclaimed by White to be the next opponent for The Predator.Â
