Derrick Lewis is preparing to go to battle once again this weekend. ‘The Black Beast’ will take on Chris Daukaus in a heavyweight clash on December 18, 2021. This fight is huge for Lewis as he’s coming off a loss in the interim heavyweight title fight against Ciryl Gane. The loss didn’t actually take his stock down, but a loss here definitely will.

However, while talking to the media in the lead-up to his fight, Lewis looked in a relatively relaxed mood. He talked about multiple things, from his previous fight and who he has in his mind as his next opponent. In between, Lewis was asked about the song he was listening to when he entered the press conference area. He replied by saying, “Fat Pat. Fat Pat.”
