Derrick Lewis Reveals Only Concern For JDS Fight

Derrick Lewis reveals his only concern heading into his next fight, which will be against former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos.

These two hard-hitting heavyweight stars are slated to headline the UFC on ESPN + 4 event. Lewis understands what kind of fight that he accepted.

He knows what the UFC heavyweight champion is going to do, which is come out and try to strike with him.

It seems like every fight that he takes part in, people have questioned the shape of Lewis’ cardio for this fight. He usually gets tired during a three-round fight and that is his concern for this bout.

“It’s all I’ve really been focused on the last few months, really, just conditioning,” Lewis told MMA Junkie. “No technique or nothing. I don’t care. (Expletive). By the time fight night comes, I’m 280 (pounds). So they (can) try to move around being 280 and move around 15 minutes and 25 minutes and see if they don’t get tired, no matter how much conditioning you got.”

UFC on ESPN + 4  is set to take place on Saturday, March 9, 2019 at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas.
