SALT LAKE CITY – A scary moment prior to his previous fight had UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis feeling like he was at death’s door. Health issues have been present over recent years for Lewis (26-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC), but nothing ever occurred like what happened to him before his fight against Serghei Spivac in February at UFC Fight Night 218. At Wednesday’s UFC 291 media day, Lewis revealed he passed out before weigh-ins. Lewis’ media day sessions in the past have typically been part comedy routine, and this one appeared to begin in a similar fashion, but quickly took a more serious turn when he revealed what occurred in Las Vegas.
