UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis appears to be in the best shape of his UFC career.
During his media day earlier this week, Lewis told reporters that he had been working hard for this training camp and couldn’t wait to show the world his six pack abs.
“What’s been going on is like, I wait until three days before weigh-ins, then try to start cutting weight. I cut like, 25 pounds in three days; just not eating and drinking water,” Lewis said . “For sure, there’s been a big adjustment. I’m already at weight right now. I don’t believe I have to cut anything.”
“You’re going to see a six pack on me this weekend, if not you can talk some bull…”
