Derrick Lewis is one of the greatest fighting talents in the UFC heavyweight division. UFC ranked the Black Beast no. 3 in the official UFC heavyweight rankings. Additionally, he will fight Chris Daukas on December 18, for UFC Fight Night 199 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Naturally, he’s been training for the fight. Recently, he was seen hanging with Belal Muhammad, who is also fighting at the same event. Belal ‘Remember the name’ will lock horns with welterweight Stephen Thompson.

Belal’s name is at 10th in the UFC welterweight rankings. He is on a 5 win streak with a no-contest matchup with Leon Edwards. Big names in the game, such as Demian Maia and Dhiego Lima, have tasted defeat against him.

Consequently, Muhammad shares a video of him and Derrick hanging around a pool. He captioned the tweet“Godfather teaching me life lessons lol @Thebeast_ufc will be on remember the show next week!!!! @Jon_Anik @bostonanik @davefretz @codymerrow @anikflorianpod”

In the video, Derrick agrees to make an appearance in a podcast called Anik & Florian Podcast. It is a weekly podcast hosted by UFC lead play-by-play announcer Jon Anik and former three-time UFC title challenger Kenny Florian.

Derrick Lewis vs Chris Daukas: Predictions

After making his UFC debut in 2020, Chris Daukas has been clearing his opponents left, right, and center. He is currently on a 4 win streak. In addition to this, the 32-year-old American has amassed a record of 12 wins to 3 losses in his entire pro-MMA career.

On the contrary, Derrick Lewis is coming of loss at the hands of Ciryl Gane. However, Lewis has a slight advantage of the experience of fighting at a big event. From going the distance to knocking out people, he has done it all.
