Derrick Lewis’s Hilarious Take on Jon Jones’s Move to Heavyweight: “Who Cares?”

In 2021, UFC Nashville headliner Derrick Lewis showed little excitement about the arrival of top contenders in his heavyweight division, despite significant events like Francis Ngannou knocking out Stipe Miocic to win the heavyweight title and Lewis losing to Ciryl Gane for the interim belt. After Jon Jones vacated the UFC Light Heavyweight title, speculation about his move to heavyweight stirred many debates within the division. However, Lewis, known as “The Black Beast,” remained unfazed by Jones’ potential heavyweight entrance, stating in a 2021 interview that it didn’t concern him at all. He compared Jones moving up to heavyweight to Brock Lesnar’s similar move, showing his indifference.

Lewis also shared his thoughts on a potential fight with Jones during a 2021 appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, explaining how he believes Jones would strategize to attack his legs while maintaining distance. Lewis expressed confidence, hoping the fight would get closer, which he sees as Jones’s weakness.

Fan Take: Derrick Lewis’s blunt and humorous dismissal of Jon Jones’ move to heavyweight adds an intriguing dynamic to the division, highlighting the mental battles beyond just physical fights. This attitude can energize fans and fighters alike, promising compelling matchups and storylines that keep the sport exciting.
