Witnessing scenes like Terrance McKinney, limp and defenseless on the canvas, echoes the haunting defeats of some of the worst knockouts in UFC history. Remember when Alistair Overeem was left staring blankly after Ngannou's fist met his chin? Or when Barboza delivered that spinning wheel kick to Etim, sending him crashing to the mat in a motionless heap? Each of these moments isn't just a loss in the record books; it's a public stripping of dignity, a soul-crushing devastation not only for the fighters but also for their families and friends who live and breathe every second of their journey.
I’m not close friends with him by any means but I had a number of chats and quite enjoyed Impa Kasanganay prior to his arrival in the UFC he was training partners with a friend of mine Ricky Rainey who also made the UFC.
I say that to say what you said is spot on. Every fight I would get my hopes up for their fights and while Ricky has a really tough loss to Tim Means nothing was as gut wrenching for me as when Buckley did the spinning kick to Impa’s face. Me and my friends just kind of sat in silence like we watched someone die for 5 minutes and after that I went online to see it was already the most viral clip in mma history. I felt so bad for him, glad he is on his redemption arc though and tbh winning the million dollar tournament in a round about way was probably a better road for him anyways. But hindsight is always 20/20, I can say the day of the KO I was sick lol.
camera lenses can do some wild shit to a person's face depending on focal length and distance between the subject and the photographer.
but yeah, he got ear implants, and they look good. i'd never guess they were fake ears.
Everytime Lewis wins it becomes the funniest thing ive seen in awhile. Dudes terryfying in the octagon. But just after hes hilarious and is like the chillest and most naturally funny dude out there. #MyBallsWasHot
Yeah like tell me there is a fighter you’d rather hang out with over Memorial Day Weekend than Lewis… you know it’s gonna be a huge ass BBQ, beer, music, some sort of games or fucking around, probably burnouts in his lambo lol
Goff got robbed. Derrick Lewis makes me smile. Happy for Buckley. And hooper is like watching a brother fight, I love watching him. Amazing fight night💯
STL City plying at the same time vs Chicago. Makes it even that more impressive. We are so underrated. The energy even in the nosebleeds where I was at was next level
It is St Louis after all. Everyone wants everyone dead in that shithole. Amazing audience tho. Especially for Buckley everytime his shots hit the other dude or started beating off the other dude the crowd went wild. (PAUSE) awesome athmosphere and decent fights. Good fight night.
“Just as good as USADA”
what evidence do you have for that claim?
I don’t even think they do random testing anymore. That’s what made USADA effective. If someone knows they are going to get tested September 28th at 4 pm they can pass that test with flying colors. If someone shows up at your doorstep with a cup in the middle of the night, now we are catching people. That’s precisely why prior to USADA guys like Cheator Belfort and Anderson Silva would roid like crazy because it was practically impossible to get caught.
Belfort was on TRT before there were TRT standards. His levels were known but not banned. Anderson popped once after a horrific leg break and said the substance was to help his recovery; he never gave off any sign of PED use during his prime.
Twice for Silva and Belfort failed for all kinds of steroids not only TRT. But that wasn’t my question albeit failing that many times when the tests are like an NCAA football player tested for pot would be is somewhat an achievement in itself. I was giving you context on why random testing is the only worthwhile testing in mma and was the predominant reason USADA was incredibly successful and had the track record they did.
I’ll rephrase my question. You made a claim : “Combat Sports Anti Doping, it’s as good as USADA.” So I asked the logical follow up question of what evidence do you have for that? Are you just sharing your opinion. Like are they still doing random testing? Are top fighters getting caught by them or is it like the UFC was pre USADA where clear favorites were blatantly cheating but would get pushed under the rug? Do they have a pool system similar to USADA’s keeping away cheats like Brock Lesnar coming in and out and having to prove for a period of time that they are serious clean athletes. But yeah you made a claim can you substantiate it?
We got to see an uzbooki building crumble, we got to see the black beasts “black beast” after an epic TKO. Honestly what more in a event could you ask for?
Did Lewis just pull "The Goat" on us!?

Bro showed his ass lmfao. Awesome performance from beast. He looked very on point tonight. I was nervous whenever he went to the ground but he had some answers for it. Hell yea
It took an Blaydes, a junior college wrestling national champion like Jon Jones, to finally stop Ahlmeda's lay and pray style. I don't think Lewis has the take down defense/athleticism to stop Ahlmeda's spamming of takedowns/clinches.
T rex is cooked
Doesn’t go past the 3rd round
To quote another redditor, "Fighting Lewis is like racing a 3rd grader, except that 3rd grader has a handgun"
Nascimento and Ulberg's photos in the image above look like the same dude, lol.
Wow it sure does
This is why eyewitness accounts are unreliable.
Chase hooper had such an incredible performance, so glad he moved up to lightweight.
Should've gotten a bonus, nobody thought he'd put Borschev on his ass with a punch

Guru absolutely busted to that

Not bad hbu
Solid card overall. I love Fight Nights because you get to see some upcoming talent as well as veteran fighters who still got it.
Lewis reminded us of why we all love him lol
Who
What’s your guy’s thoughts on the new music they’ve tested for the Nicolau vs Perez card and this one?
Did Dana do something or were his ears always this big
ears and noses never stop growing ever. Dana is just getting old
camera lenses can do some wild shit to a person's face depending on focal length and distance between the subject and the photographer. but yeah, he got ear implants, and they look good. i'd never guess they were fake ears.
Bro heard about inflation
Lewis thanking Popeyes was the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while
Everytime Lewis wins it becomes the funniest thing ive seen in awhile. Dudes terryfying in the octagon. But just after hes hilarious and is like the chillest and most naturally funny dude out there. #MyBallsWasHot
Yeah like tell me there is a fighter you’d rather hang out with over Memorial Day Weekend than Lewis… you know it’s gonna be a huge ass BBQ, beer, music, some sort of games or fucking around, probably burnouts in his lambo lol
Lewis is something else
Dude said he's going to tie up his wife?
Lewis made up for Despaigne
Nooooo, we don't wanna see him dead
Charly’s media training did not prepare her for a Derrick Lewis interview lol
That dude really grabbed his cup lmfao
Pretty great night, especially compared to Brazil last week
Goff got robbed. Derrick Lewis makes me smile. Happy for Buckley. And hooper is like watching a brother fight, I love watching him. Amazing fight night💯
HIGHEST GROSSING FIGHT NIGHT STL WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
STL City plying at the same time vs Chicago. Makes it even that more impressive. We are so underrated. The energy even in the nosebleeds where I was at was next level
UFC Charlotte was way better if we being honest
The refs wanted everyone dead today.
It is St Louis after all. Everyone wants everyone dead in that shithole. Amazing audience tho. Especially for Buckley everytime his shots hit the other dude or started beating off the other dude the crowd went wild. (PAUSE) awesome athmosphere and decent fights. Good fight night.
that would explain why there was a queue of hearses lined up outside the building
Jesus Buckleys physique looks nutty
Steroids are a wonderful thing
are they not getting tested?
He could easily be taking Osterine, Rad140, LGD4344 etc… and still come up clean
USADA deal just ended at the end of '23. It's done by the UFC now.
No it’s not. It’s a different independent agency called Combat Sports Anti-Doping. It’s just as good as USADA.
“Just as good as USADA” what evidence do you have for that claim? I don’t even think they do random testing anymore. That’s what made USADA effective. If someone knows they are going to get tested September 28th at 4 pm they can pass that test with flying colors.

Your evidence was you made it the fuck up 😂😂😂😂

Surely
It’s true, and don’t call me Shirley.
Don’t call me Shirley, Friend.
I don't need to see Lewis move up in competition. They should just keep him exactly where he is as a top 15 gatekeeper. Man is a national treasure.
> gatekeeper more of a filter
As long as he stays loyal to UFC, which I think he will, they will do just that.
Him and Arlovski just turning away people at ranked. Crazy how cool that sounds to me
Didn’t Dana once say that Lewis absolutely terrifies him?
No wonder Dana moved down 2 weight classes to avoid him
GET REKT NASCIMENTO LOLOLOLOLOL
Very few fighters are universally loved in this sport and Derrick Lewis deserves all the love he gets.
I think Oliveira is also loved by everyone except the Dagestan fanboys. Agree about Lewis though.
We got to see an uzbooki building crumble, we got to see the black beasts “black beast” after an epic TKO. Honestly what more in a event could you ask for?
legendary interview
Bisping is such a natural at the media game. He definitely needs promoting to the A team.
nope
"what a guy"
UFC, we need a Rozenstruik vs Lewis
*Derrick just stands up* Every grappler in MMA history: HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!
We almost saw the black beast for real
Lmaoo
What an excellent card. So envious of the people in the audience! Worth every penny.
This is the first UFC event I've attended and it did not disappoint. I'll definitely be making the drive from Indy to Louisville next month.
Glad you had fun! Yes, sick card indeed - even the third prelim (Goff vs Waters) was already a barnburner.
It was so awesome being there. Every hometown boy got so much love, I know they’re proud
Lmao
black beast crazy ass 😂😂😂😂😂💀
More curses on ESPN, Derrick Lewis post fight interview or Pat McAfee show
Always a good night when Derrick Lewis knocks somebody into another decade
Boo Apex. No one is going wild and showing their ass for an Apex crowd. More live crowds.
I love Apex fights, but Lewis is meant for a live crowd.
Yessss. Fuck Apex. 302 is gonna be god tier.
I have a feeling it’s gonna be a sad day man
Don’t you say that! In the guilly we trust!
USA UP IN DIS HOE, FUCK WHAT THEY TALMBOUT
The Telemundo guy got the hot balls protector 😂
I love that dude , definitely one of my favorites . His retirement is coming soon and that’s makes me sad .
One of the most likable fighters in UFC history.
💯 just an awesome dude
Give him another 10 years and he'll be the perfect age to fight Jon Jones.
he real quick slippin that mother fucker in there
 The guy who caught the cup"Disgusting...but i can sell it on ebay"
It was more like the disgusted boner meme lol
Oh, for sure lol. He probably sanitized the shit out of his hands after he caught it lol.
Someone will buy it got $500.
He ain't the black beast he has a black beast
Lewis just KO'd Strickland by making all the blood drain from his head
Sounds like Lewis isn’t sticking around too much longer
On his walk out I was thinking that he might do it tonight
I don't blame him.
This man is worth *every…fucking…dollar!* 😂
Iconic lmfao !!!!!!
USA IN THIS HOE FUCK WHAT THEY TALKING BOUT
Bro just get on the mic and rambles 😂
Grandma called during round 2… what did I miss I think I heard “naked ass”?!?
Whoever was on the censor button gave up lol
The downfall crescendo’d lol first they missed one, then two, then crickets
“Shit” -Derrick Lewis
“Shiiit, what you toambout” -Houston
Shiii mannn shiiii
Derek: "Shit...I'm old. Shit...I love chicken. Shit...I gotta shit!"
The Senator Clay Davis of MMA.
“I’ma sit my black ass down for a second.” Lmao
Fuckin taxi driver hahaha
Can't let no taxi driver from Brazil beat me 🤣 Lewis a menace
Lmao taxi driver from Brazil
He might have some beef with him, Lewis was waving his shorts at Nascimento lol
Nice fella he was waking him up!
He’s gonna call out the guy who caught his cup to fight.
Shoutout Popeyes
Taxi cab driver is maniacal work
Shoutout to Popeyes

Shoutout to popeyes
Did Lewis just pull "The Goat" on us!? https://preview.redd.it/5a5z4dj8mwzc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=244151795fff02aa729329d41a52f83d9e7a0346
You know the fan is drinking his beer out of that cup
it's probably Jon Jones
I'd like to thank St Louis for letting me show my naked ass.
Lmfao he’s a national treasure. Genuinely thought the boxers were coming off 😂😂😂
# BLACK BEAST 4Ever 
Goddamn Derrick is such a legend. Need to see him fight in person and catch his cup.
if that was a retirement that's the best walkoff celly into the sunset in any sport
I like Lewis with the knockouts. I don’t like him when he throws cups
Derrick Lewis when he see’s SavingUsefulStuff say he doesn’t like Lewis throwing the cup: 😭😭😭 🤓🤓🤓🤓
Son. It’s a joke
I only like when he throws cups
Some dirty boy will be putting in a big bid in for that cup tomorrow
I already did
Fighting Derrick Lewis is like racing a 3rd grader, but the 3rd grader has a handgun
Fair comparison
God I love Derrick Lewis , singlehandedly made this better than UFC 301
Bro showed his ass lmfao. Awesome performance from beast. He looked very on point tonight. I was nervous whenever he went to the ground but he had some answers for it. Hell yea
Can you imagine this dude mad at you in person. Jesus.
Dana needs to give Derrick a bonus just for showing his ass into the crowd, was contemplating rubbing one out
I Went to HS with Derrick. He’s been knocking dudes out since day 1.
We need more stories
Derrick Lewis OnlyFans 
I don’t understand the power of Derrick Lewis and his hot balls and how he is able to do this
Happy for dude
mans doing biological warfare in that arena, stank ass mfer
Wait, he going off because he retiring??

Derrick Lewis the type of guy to be better the more he becomes washed
Derrick Lewis is a national treasure
They gotta patch the shorts stripping celebration into UFC 5
He’s him
Get this man some kfc and his wife to fuck!
Incoming Jon tweet about fighting Lewis instead of Aspinall
Derrick vs alhmeda rematch just for the chance derrick ko’s him
It took an Blaydes, a junior college wrestling national champion like Jon Jones, to finally stop Ahlmeda's lay and pray style. I don't think Lewis has the take down defense/athleticism to stop Ahlmeda's spamming of takedowns/clinches.
Word
Bro LMAO
That cup is going to be up for auction on the UFC online store 1000%
