Derrick Lewis would not be happy with his last UFC outing. Serghei Spivac didn’t waste much time in winning the fight and submitted Lewis in the first round. Going into the fight, the 38-year-old would have expected a better performance, given his record of knocking his opponents out. The 26-11 record holder is known for his burly frame and is nicknamed ‘The Black Beast’. Recently, a picture has been shared on Twitter where the heavyweight was seen with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.

The Twitter post attracted a lot of comments from fans. It left fans amazed by the difference between the two athletes. Shaq is 7 feet 1 inch in height and weighs 325 lbs. Derrick Lewis, on the other side, is 6 feet 3 inches in height and weighs 265 lbs. There were many comments that had interesting takes on the picture.
