Derrick Lewis ’ devastating knockout of Curtis Blaydes had a ripple effect beyond just the hardcore MMA bubble. Lewis (25-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC), who extended his winning streak to four fights Saturday with a highlight-reel uppercut knockout of Blaydes (14-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 185 headliner, caught the attention of Lil’ Wayne with his phenomenal finish. The famous rapper is a longtime MMA fan who has attended multiple UFC events over the years. Like the right of us, though, he’s forced to watch fights from home during the pandemic era. He was most certainly tuned in for “The Black Beast,” who he shares a bit of a kinship with. Lewis was born in New Orleans, which Lil’ Wayne proudly represents.
