Quotes from Derrick Lewis

I just have a crazy sense of humor.

Bowing and showing respect - I don't give nothing about none of that. I'm just coming in and fighting.

I don't care if I ever fight for the belt or get the belt.

I throw so hard because I sit and wait for that perfect moment.

I believe I get the belt then I'll get the money. I'm not trying to be the best fighter in the world. It's all about the cheddar.

All of my fights, especially all of my UFC fights my whole career, I've never been in there without any kind of impingement and pain wrong with my back.
