Now, "The Black Beast" and his dynamic punching power collide with "Double Champ" Daniel Cormier with DC's heavyweight title on the line at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night (10pm).
Despite 18 of Lewis's 21 wins over KO, Cormier (21-1-1 without a contest) is extremely confident in maintaining his strap.
"There are a lot of idiots in this game." "I am the highest level, I am the standard" A. "I am what mixed martial arts are," said Cormier to the fans at the time. Open training of UFC 230 earlier this week. "Derrick Lewis has a chance for the batter to beat me on Saturday night, if you have a chance to beat drummer Daniel Cormier, then you have no chance at all."

"It would be disrespectful to the sport because I have no experience in martial arts," Lewis told Sporting News earlier in the week about the scenario of his DC loss. "A guy who is the UFC heavyweight champion, where all those great legends before me had some sort of history / background of mixed martial arts, and [me] to be a champion. It would be just crazy. "
