Derrick Lewis wants Stipe Miocic next

In the same conversation with Ariel Helwani, the ‘Black Beast’ revealed that he would fancy a fight with former heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic.

Lewis made the revelation as he doesn’t want to chase titles anymore because of the aforementioned stress issue with him. Plus, he wants to enjoy and entertain fights where he is the underdog.

“I feel like I don’t have to prove anything. So that’s one of the reasons why I want to fight Stipe next. I believe that would be a great matchup for the fans and for both of us. He’s more of a wrestler, and I’m more of a wrestler, as well, too. So it would be a great, entertaining fight,” Lewis told Helwani.

Miocic is coming off a loss against Francis Ngannou. Notably, he is currently 20-4 in his professional MMA career.
