Too many wild kicks/knees must have thrown his back out. I really hope he doesn't retire though. He's so good for the division.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

cause he probably knew this was it, why not throw some crazy poo poo in your last fight

I didn't realize Lewis had 12 UFC fights, that's actually a pretty decent run

He was fighting that way because he was fighting Mark Hunt and pretty much the only way to put him away is a head kick or a perfect knee.

From that perspective this fight makes a lot more sense. He threw as much wild poo poo as he could just to give the fans a show. Happy retirement Black Beast

this is how i saw it. mark has seen every single conventional kick and punch a million times. putting him out usually requires something he doesn't expect 300lb dudes to be able to do.

I was really impressed with Hunt's speed. In round 1&2 he was closing distance and getting back out lightning fast for someone close to 300 lbs.

I think/hope he was just embarrassed by how hard he gassed there and will rethink that, because I do not want to live in a world where I don't have Derrick Lewis postfight promos to look forward to

eh I'd rather lewis retire cause he pretty much hit his peak. A top 10 fighter in his division. He isn't going to be a champion and I doubt UFC is ever going to sign him to a major contract. He got to main event a few cards and got to knock out Travis Browne.

Hunt should be put in a title eliminator asap and even then gently caress it just go ahead and book the Stipe rematch.

I mean, maybe Dana hates Hunt enough to give him a rematch with Stipe. But I like him so I don't want to see it.

Goodnight Black Beast, I'll remember you fondly, you were too cool for the UFC.

I think Hunt being so patient in the first 3 rounds got him that win. Otherwise he'd have been just as gassed or more. So glad he won though.

hunt is good at this. i can't recall offhand any time in his ufc run where he's had a fight he's been ahead in totally turned around by rushing in and getting clipped. shogun fought like this in his last fight too.

He was but he was already starting to slow in the 2nd before he got caught, which is likely because he took that fight on a month's notice and it was high-altitude

WHO ABUSED HIM. WHO ABUSED THE BOY.
Unless that was specifically the last fight on his contract I reckon Lewis was just wallowing in the agony of defeat after being pummeled into a standing coma but trying to find a compensatory way to appease his fiance simultaneously
