I was at a UFC event a couple years back and when Derrick Lewis walked out, I was standing by the rail right where he walked past. As he passed by I yelled out Good Luck Derrick. It was very noisy but he heard what i said, he literally backed up a good metre and gave me a fist bump. It was extremely cool and i'll never forget it. BB is the man!
thats dope!
I cant wait to go to my first live UFC event 🔥🔥🔥
Dope
What fight was that?
Who was Derrick fighting?
The more interviews I see of this guy the more I like him
Same here.
Bro he it’s real af ...
Really? "No one wanted to help me while I was in probation for assault while getting a full scholarship at a college for playing sports." He could've gotten a part time job, attended his probation conditions. It's not anyone else's fault but his own. Ffs, making excuses for his failures and actions.
@@olliefoxx7165 There's always at least one fool out there looking to argue with a comment of opinion. I wish you the best in your pursuit to find peace for whatever void has caused you your pain in life.
@@olliefoxx7165 so because you don't like the guy, that means the original poster shouldn't? that's not how life works pal, maybe when you get some real world experience you'll realize that
"I don't see you assaulting people that's weird." "Oh" Lmaooooo
@George Washington huh?
@@rookiepipe dont mind him hes just speaking facts
@@kintarooe8688 I don’t care if he’s speaking facts or not, wtf this got to do with the video 💀
That joe rogan awkward laugh
@George Washington ok weirdo
Imagine being locked up with a guy nicknamed ‘The Black Beast’
Doesn't matter if you drop the soap or not. He'll get ya
In Scotland beast is slang for a paedophile 😂
@@NicolaMaxwell Texas isn't Scotland mate....
@@NicolaMaxwell yeah people call eachother goofs here in Vancity
@@espada9 No shit sherlock.
Imagine getting TKO’d by Lewis in a street fight, him going to prison as a result, and then watching him becoming a top HW contender all these years later. This guy tells that story to everyone he meets.
"I took his best shots bro and I still was throwing back" XD
Probably hating life lol
@@waygu81 "Nawh seriously bro I almost had him til he got a lucky shot" 😂
@Deangelo Brooks then you never had streetfights probably People surrender all the time after some shots
He knocked out an older guy😂
Derrick: “I told my brother he couldn’t do it bc he’s too ghetto. Dana: sounds marketable to me
Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!
That's what I was thinking
I might just be stupid but honestly? That does sound marketable as hell. I mean just look at freaking jake Paul
@@CombatSportsNerd Yeah but Dana hates Jake Paul and I wouldn't call him ghetto lol. Still, I'm with ya, would like to see it happen!
My man's phone was ringing before Lewis stopped talking 🤣😭
Derrick Lewis is my favorite fighter. Not just his fighting style either, although that's awesome. It's also how he's just hilarious and he doesn't need to do all of the fake trash talking to draw attention. He's the man.
Yeah he's part of the many real fighters that don't need trash talk.
All I need to see is his name on a card and I'm buying it I dont need to see no press conference no trash talk...I just want to hear his post fight interviews tho 😂
Yep Derek is great I’m pissed I can’t watch this whole interview on my tv Get your sh*t together Spotify!!
Derrick Lewis has been a favorite of mine for awhile now because he is real and down to earth. Very refreshing not like all the other fighters who play it up for teenagers who love that shit
Trash talking has become boring to me.
Man is proud of his kids' good grades... that's what's up.
Exactly. We need more people to get it across that succeeding in school is cool, as corny as it sounds.
getting paid for what he was charged for, full turn around
Bruh that could be a movie
Yes sir. He realized it was him, not some other race.
Bruh played the system like a cheat code
Ngannou should definitely be in jail after what he did to overreem.
Why not that’s the way I look at it if you want to fight go ahead and fight might as well get paid for it!
When Derrick said, "My brother too ghetto". I don't think Joe fully understood wtf that means... I felt Derrick on a personal level when he said that. 😂😂😂😂
Lmao bro please give us an example 😂😂😂
Same
LOL Rogan knows what it means.. Even a horrible comedian like him understands Derrick is saying his brother is a November India Golf Golf Echo Romeo
@@ashutosh998 i’ve dealt with this as well it basically means a lot of cursing, little to no etiquette, and outgoing attitude😂 if you don’t know someone like that on a personal level it can get obnoxious real fast
When Derrick talks about his childhood and the impact on his life, damn that hits deep. If you were lucky to have a solid family life, be thankful.
Foreal, this video hit deep
"Hes short he's like 5'10"" I know joe was hurting after that
I was hurting and I’m 5’11 lol. We’re not short lol
@@josue24 yes you are
Short for a heavyweight 😆
In the context of the UFC heavyweight anyone under 6'2 is "short"
Joe Rogan should've replied " Oh 5ft10 is short ? Isn't Mark Hunt only 5ft10 ?? " I wonder how Derrick would've responded LOL
You wouldn’t even know Derrick Lewis was a fighter by the shit he posts on IG 😂
You would think he’s some ones funny uncle who drives a truck and is a football coach on the side.
He okay
He is "girl-next-door" type-of-guy
T
He’s ok
I went to high school with Derrick and he was always in trouble for fighting in and out of school. He was known for going to parties and fighting. I’m so proud to see him overcome his past and make a good living out of it.
🧢
🧢
I say it’s cap …….. what high school ?
@@erikmorris4044 Cypress Spring High school in north west Houston. Look it up for yourselves.
🧢🧢🧢🧢
Derrick: The world wouldn't be able to handle my brother. He's too outspoken. Too ghetto. Diaz Brothers: have entered the chatroom
I'll bet his brother snaps the Diaz brothers in half.
The diaz brothers are talented tri athletes good chin they bring a lot to the table
@Helping Heroes Hatzidakis any of the heavy weight would go through the Diaz brothers, there is a reason we have weight classes 🤷♂️
Hello Saitama
It's one thing for Diaz brothers to be outspoken, it's another thing when no one understands wtf they're saying
Derrick Lewis is a stand up dude. He deserves to be champ. He’s banged with the best.
Last sentence shouldn’t have made me laugh as hard as it did 😂😂
Realistically he can become the HW champ in about 2 years time. Hope he gets it
@@gamergarett He forgot to say no homo.
He never banged with me
Man hearing him talk about his kids, and how proud he is, just makes me want to tear up.
Genuine guy. He came through neighborhoods when Houston flooded in his big ass truck helping people get to Safety! H-Town legend
That's major!!! Real one on hella levels.
Derrick "My brother is too ghetto" Lewis
Derrick “The Hamburglar” Lewis.
lol
@@robbassett168 😂
When Joe is in the right mood he is perfect for a guy like Derrick. Compassionate, sincere and attentive which allows someone that is shy to thrive in an interview Derrick reminds me a lot of Michael Oher in all the best ways
Pretty nuanced opinion for a wolf man
It's an interview, Joe isn't trynna f**k him lol jk you're right on the money.
Excellent Point, Wolf Man. Joe Rogan is #AmericasVoice
I have never told someone over the internet I couldn't have said it better but you were able to explain in a couple sentences the essence of why this was so good. Well done.
Finally he’s on JRE
Aight bruh this is my second time replying to ur comment every fuckin vid
@@dylanmorris2264 wierd or what. I see him everywhere too
@@heckalydalii200 Hahahah I thought I was the only pne
@@heckalydalii200 one
Why do I see your name in every comment section
If Derrick Lewis had a podcast I’d tune in every episode LOL
I fcking love Derrick Lewis man. He's changed his kids life with his toughness and hands of stone, what a man.
Gay
his kids get to grow up in a mansion now
@@jrf7204 so what what does that do for you other than make you not apreciate anything and just making you a spoiled brat , money isn’t everything and you don’t take anything with you when you die, but he’d rather sell his soul and get paid like most people so it’s what I just can’t watch how he’s a super leftist now
@@voyageeats1409 How is he selling his soul? He has earned the money he has. And if you dont want to provide the best for your kids then A. you don't have kids. or B. You're a pathetic father. You can give them good things and teach them value
Man Derrick is beautiful, he had a hard life but he was able to change the course and made a better life for his family. Now he's role model for his kids and many others. Good dude right there.
Yeah, just feel bad hearing about him buying cars for his family doing something good, and every single one of em sold it, even his mom. I don't know their situation, but it's hard to hear about them asking for more cash everyday after the fact. I like Derrick, he's the real deal, and it's terrible to hear stuff like that when you're genuinely trying your best to make the people that mean everything to you have a better life.....try their best to take advantage of you till you got nothing. I suspect he's cutting ties because he mentioned changing his phone number.. more than once.
He was in prison and still is looking at that shirt. 😂
its been decades since prisoners wore black and white stripes. all prisoners wear orange now.
@@TripleEightss a lot of them wear beige actually
Every color means something. Like blue is for protective custody for example and red for suicidal. I think
Riiiiiiight 😂😂😂
It's not 1958 kid.
Big good guy and an amazing fighter. Hearing him talking about his kids doing good in school almost made me cry.
This dude makes my heart happy. Always gonna root for Derrick.
When he started talking about his kids, I couldn't help but smile. More power to him, bravo.
DERRICK LEWIS is one my all time favorite UFC fighters! The most down to earth fighter and a completely genuine person! BEST OF LUCK!
Love Derrick Lewis ,so authentic and hilarious .Could be any blue collar guy in any town in any country .Class act ! Respect from Ireland.
Look how far you have come!! Very proud of you, big guy. You got this!
Thanks for encouraging Joe.
@@Nostalgia_Addict lmfao!!! He doesn't need any encouragement at all.
The real Hamburglar
I coughed out my paste
I am thinking about dropping out of school to focus on my career as a star on KZhead. I already make a lot of money on KZhead. School bores me so much. I need more opinions and since I don't have any friends, I gotta ask you, bone
@@AxxLAfriku drop out
This shit has me rolling
@@AxxLAfriku dont
He is my favorite fighter tbh. He seems like a really good man.
Derrick Lewis is a gift to the world, and I think he gives back more than we take. Every time he has a microphone near him, good things happen. I don’t think I’ll ever be more excited than when he got the shit beaten out of him for most of a fight then he KO’s Volkov. Love him
Never wanted to listen to a podcast twice until this one and I’ve been a long time fan. Derrick has such an awesome personality..
For me the telling part was when he said that no one would help him...Been there done that...God bless you Derrick Lewis...
It makes you stronger. Self reliant. Independent. But it made you sad at the time when you were at your lowest that no one gave you a hand.
between ngannou and derrick, the inspiration they produce from their past alone is incredible. the American dream is still alive so long as you refuse to give up and refuse to let anyone block you. it might not happen on you first try or your first idea but it will happen so long as you are dedicated and focused. don't let people tell you that you are a victim...
This!
i like how derick is a man of few words but joe is on a podcast and he keeps making conversation, they really go well together
Always watch everything dude post's, it's daily comedy. This guy is a KO specialist like how Chuck Liddel used to tee up, saying that he's special.
Joe does bigger numbers on his youtube channel than on spotify lmao
Well shit, now we have to get his brother to fight 🤷🏻♂️
Sounds like he would do pretty good mma similar to a real fight so who knows haha
The most entertaining fighter ever, pre-during-and post fights...
Derrick Lewis is as real as it gets. Impossible not to love him, his story and his fights. God bless him, id pay to watch a movie about his life
I wish this while interview was longer. Derrick is so genuine, I want to see him drunk thou cause there’s an even more hilarious side to him inside, you can tell he’s quite reserved upfront
Derrick Lewis really seems like a great dude. He’s open about his past but people aren’t defined by their past (not supposed to be). This interview made me even more of a fan! Love JRE.
Derrick really gonna roll in here with his Where is Waldo shirt and then by the end of the video make me cry like that. Damn 🥲
I could feel how proud he is of being a good dad and watching his sons succeed.
Bro! This guy right here just won me over. I only with success and health moving forward!
This guy is extremely relatable
When you got Mike Perry runnin around, ain't no such thing as too ghetto for the UFC. The line has been crossed at that point.
Forreals!!
I love derrick how real he is and just owns he’s shit we all got a past, big props big man!!!
Stoked w all the mma shows lately 🔥
Love this guy, amazing story needs a movie .
Derrick "the zebra whisperer" Lewis
Derrick Lewis fan favorite, love this guy!! Wish all the best to him!
Derrick Lewis is such a good man, just wanted to say that. To make what he made out of his life given the challenges. Inspiring.
Sometimes you have to go through hell to get to heaven
Sometimes? Every time
Nur , Everytime? no absolutely never. it says in the bible every soul that gets thrown in the lake of fire may notenter heaven. but then again no one knows cuz no one has been there and back.
@@TripleEightss heaven isn't real.
@@TripleEightss that was a lousy attempt to say something meaningful
@Perko Sherry couldn't agree more
This is why I like guys like Derrick, Stipe. Honest, hardworking American.
Man I feel like most of the top 10 in the heavyweight division is humble and genuine, most went through some dark times and overcame them 🙏💯👊🏽
I love honest self reflection. I wish more people had it.
People watching This Like: -in bed -not in full screen -Reading Comments
Well shiet that sounds like me lol
-naked
Same
Fucccck man
Just add in taking a shit and you got me
That TSHIRT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Joe
Everyone should be pulling for this man. All the best brother. 🤙🏼
Big goosebumps when he talked about his kids💚👊
I wanna his brothers IG because you KNOW there’s some funny ass shit on there lol
After this interview, Derrick Lewis had to go back to his day job of being a Gondolier in Venice. Blue collar guy.
Lol
I feel like a lot of people won't get this joke
@@Lordoftheswollen There's levels to this game.
Darren is an inspiration. I am so happy for him. Go Derrick!
Absolutely love this guy. Everyone has done something they would take back. Huge respect for him turning his life around.
Joe don't know his brother might just rob him, when derrick says he's ghetto it doesn't mean he talks in ebonics 😂 it means he's rough
FACTS lol
He's ok
Are you ok?
haa
SO glad for Derrick Lewis, always looking forward to his fights and his post fight celebration, epic!
Derrick Lewis was out there in Hurricane Harvey picking people out of the water and getting them to the safest point he could find. He has never shit-talked. And trains his ass off for his career. I LOVE MMA. But besides everything I've seen in that cage, I think that Lewis' awesomeness outshines his knockout power. Hat's off Derrick Lewis. Proud to call you a fellow Texan. We've adopted you. Wish you nothing but the best in MMA and in life
Never too late to turn it around.
I see you everywhere Casey😂, from Ben Mallah to this! I have to check out your content now💯
Miss JRE on KZhead, not the same 😥
Even the new studio sucks
@@PlutoTheGod Looks like you can't stand up in it lol. I miss the brick wall lol
Nicola Maxwell it looks like a giant microwave or tanning bed. Those weird panels on the wall mixed with the dark ass red lighting and lack of any personality makes it boring as fuck to look at
@@PlutoTheGod Agreed. I miss all the old stuff, don't think there's more than one mic there. Looks like crap, pretty tacky too. The old studio felt authentic and cosy 😊 This wasn't the best move, they can't even get a joint in there 😖
He’s lamer now
My favorite heavyweight fighter and 1 hell of a nice guy and a family man. I always wish you the Best.
Bruh this is making want to watch the whole thing so bad. This man is as real as it gets.
Damn. As a while guy that's 31 and not ghetto.... I would wish I could sit down with Lewis. Legit a GREAT dude. The fact he knows how to turn the ghetto off and on in the rigjt times is literally a skill that is highly undervalued
I haven't watched mma in 5+ years but Lewis is only fighter I like.
Ur missing the best years. Mcregor,khabib,stipe,jones,cejudo, Amanda soon they'll be retiring soon
@@CoolnessOver-vf4mm you’ve named 2 fighters that are already retired
@@WAzzzUUppp Triple C ..... is coming backkkkk !!!
@@WAzzzUUppp yeah khabib n cejudo retirement is like so so. I mean ok khabib maybe retired but triple c is back
Used to watch Jon Jones but he became felon instead of fighting. Any other good fighters to watch these days?
1st time ive liked a JRE clip in a couple months... you gotta respect D Lewis!
SO MUCH RESPECT for Derrick Lewis! Easily one of my favourite and most entertaining UFC fighter's on the planet; and as we just found out, also a great father and great person.
I wonder if the person he assaulted has ever fully recovered from their injuries.
I guarantee his brother ain't feeling this episode 😂
These blessings hit the right man. I love these stories
This dude is awesome!! I hope to meet this dude some day him and the Diaz brothers are my favorite fighters by far!
Even in his life he was losing every round until he KO'd it. Good job DL!
Soft spoken Black guys are the scariest
Morgan freeman scares the shit out of me
@@nathanquinzi4831 🤣
This dude seems pretty cool does not seem like a fighter
A very humble individual. This man could have a very successful podcast imo. Very well spoken and calm.
Put the belt on this man, he deserves it ten fold, so humble, my favourite fighter by far in the ufc 👍👊
He's okay.
Yep yep
Derrick: My brother is short. He's like 5"10... Joe (thinking): Oh shit i'm just 5"8... Let me remind him of Cormier, so i can say that short people can be campions too 😥
Joe is only 3'9". Most people dont know that but he is.
i had no idea but this guy is awesome being so open and being a good guy. big fan!
Love this dude even more, I didn't know any of this about him, what a awesome guy
Apparently, this happened when Lewis was in high school, and the person he assaulted was a KKK guy holding a shot gun and harassing people. But that guy didn’t get any jail time, just Lewis. Glad he has succeeded despite what happened, but that’s still f*cked up that he went to prison over something like that.
Derrick "No Homo" Lewis
Favorite hw at the moment! Awesome dude!
Good for you Derek🤟...you deserve your success. I love watching your fights dude!
For my mans Derrick I’ll use spotify
Nearly tempted me too
I can see his history of aggrevated assault when he kept punching Curtis Blaydes even when he was knocked out.
"That's Herb Dean fault"
@@jackberger4939 😂🤣😭💀
Unfair comment
go watch soccer if you dont like fighting in a fight
That's called fighting till the referee says stop, they say it before every fight
He’s easily one of my favorite fighters and this just adds to my respect
I love Derrick Lewis so much easily one of my favorite Fighters in the world
