today we're joined by derek lewis he's a top contender in the ufc's heavyweight division and there's not a single fighter in the weight classes history with more knockouts on their resume and he's celebrated for his sound bites almost as much as his power will he keep
0:32
his pants on today if the sauces get too hot i guess only time will tell derek lewis welcome to the show thanks for having me see that was pretty good you did pretty good you're way better than me i'll take that i'll take that and you
0:43
know texas boys they've traditionally done really well on this show how are you around spicy stuff i love spicy food my wife already knows that once i start eating spicy stuff she already know get the the baby wipes ready there's going to be some screaming in
0:58
the bathroom but i like it though [Music] it's already on there it's already on there man we should have switched place then will you want to switch no sorry you already touched it so this one yep that one right there [Music] we're always interested in how a fighter
1:40
gets their start and this rose growing in the concrete profession of mma and then i know that you started off training as a boxer but saw a faster more direct route to making money through mma they're obviously both very hard ways to make a living but what did
1:53
you see is more difficult about the boxing journey um the boxing journey is like it seems like you got to train a lot more you got to do a lot more cardio and running and stuff like that i'm not with all that you know with that um so mma to me is
2:07
like emotionally like street fighting so it's like you do everything you want instead for pulling hair and hitting in the nuts so i'm down with that and then i often times talk to fighters especially early on about shady promoters or managers
2:20
what's a lesson about signing contracts or getting paid up front that you had to learn the hard way i miss a lot of shady on managers out there and there's a lot of shady promoters when some promoters um you gotta watch in the contract that some of them
2:34
only we'll pay you one dollar then pay you cash afterwards you know irs don't like all that so you got to be careful with that stuff like that and there's a lot of promoters all managers out there as well that would try to screw the fighter over and
2:51
try to take all the sponsorship money and don't even tell the fighters that he's being sponsored by someone [Music] oh they probably talk about me i'm telling how to eat chicken wing right [Music] mike tyson once put the art of the knockout into words by saying it's
3:15
hitting them with punches they don't see does that ring true to you and how would you define the art of the ko to me it's like especially knocking out another grown man it's like one of the best feelings in the world you ever did it before no i
3:28
i don't it's a care feeling you know i love it it's addicting and then why did you say that your favorite striking technique is head kicks um hey kicks is like something i like to do loosen up get my nerves out they never seen it coming from a guy my side so i like
3:49
doing it and then what has been the most satisfying knockout of your career most satisfying knockout of my career problems against curtis blaze blade's been talking trash for three years straight like no matter if i win or lose he'll be in my dms or making
4:04
public getting known that he don't like me i like my style whatever and so that was so sweet [Music] that's good you know i think uh because you're like a texas barbecue guy there's like a little sort of like barbecue with that
4:25
with a little honey it's kind of like a fall oktoberfesty kind of sauce that's good so before being convinced to pursue a career in mma i understand that you worked as a tow truck driver obviously you're someone who can handle themselves in ten situations but what is
4:40
the most heated confrontation you've ever had with someone when you're towing their car away probably the most heated thing it was because we also with aaa we also like um pop locks like they lock the keys in the car so i was like bending the glass back so
4:57
i couldn't unlock the car it's like a pt cruiser um drop top and they thought i was going to break the glass and i was just telling them no i got this i know what i'm doing and so they were just really like making sure everything is okay with that car
5:11
like i said nothing wrong it's pt cruising nothing wrong with this thing this thing's already broken before you brought it and they said oh you're being an i said nah i'm serious nothing wrong with the car i got this whenever i was tow truck driver i really
5:24
didn't care how i grabbed your car if you wasn't around watching me i don't care i'm pretty sure your car was all messed up [Music] anything they got low center i already know it's gonna be hot hopefully we can i should have grabbed
5:46
your plate when you grind mine well you know the rest i'm open to that by the way i'm very i'm open to the to the switcheroo if you want to do that you just let me know all right i'll buy one and you buy one all right well no no no no no
6:02
so i've noticed that you're one of the few huge ufc draws that doesn't overly engage in petty trash talk is that just a coincidence or do you think you approach the fight game a little bit differently than the others i approach it differently most of them guys trying
6:16
to be the best fighters in the world and stuff like that i don't care about being the best fighter in the world all i care about is to check as long as they pay me good i'm down to fight whoever is there a rule change that you'd like to see implemented
6:30
i'm probably like the fight week doing all the interviews because most of the reporters keep asking the same question like they all see the articles and stuff like that but they still want to get their turn to ask the same question i hate doing it
6:44
yeah this wing is kind of spicy we can go on to the next one [Laughter] [Music] it's good but this one and this one so far is pretty good all right derek we have a recurring segment on our show called explain that graham we're doing a deep
7:04
dive on our guest instagram pull interesting pictures that need more context which not from our page right from your page and let me tell you what a roller coaster that was i don't know where you get your memes but you have quite the collection are there any any good
7:18
follows that you can recommend for our viewers of course lil duvall you gotta follow duval it's pretty funny well let's check out more of the conventional more of the classic derek lewis pictures we'll pull him up on the monitor what's
7:31
the best thing about being a texans fan and what's the worst thing about being a texans fan i guess the best thing is that they treat you good whenever you go to the games and stuff like that whenever we lose a lot of guys get off the bandwagon saying that
7:45
everybody need to be fired but that's the only thing i don't like about it is just wish you watching yeah but not you i'm not no and then uh you threw out that first pitch at an astros game listen yeah the wings are good yeah so yeah well let's try this one
8:09
yeah what happened was i was wearing jeans as soon as i was getting ready to throw a mosquito bit me everybody knows mosquitoes are bad in texas so it'll throw that pitch off nothing to be ashamed of there yeah and there's a guy yesterday
8:24
playing that yankees i think he was from los angeles something maybe i seen on the top 10 this morning that he did the same type of pitch so you know i could be a major league and just one mistake and then one last one for you what do you remember about meeting dave
8:41
chappelle ufc 264 yeah he's a cool dude i mean i thought he was taller than than what he was you know i thought he was taller than me whenever i seen him on tv and he loved his cigarettes yeah yeah [Music] let me see man look at that i am see i'm
9:06
saying color actually i think of anything i got more color [Music] so back in 2018 you announced an open invite for people tripping you online to come to the gym for a fight did you have anybody take you up on that offer and if so what were some of the highlights of
9:24
the afternoon oh i had a couple of guys and i knocked three guys out that week so it was fun it was fun made sure they signed the waivers just like y'all had me do same type of paperwork same sign the way he was and it was a lot of
9:40
fun it was the guy who came on his birthday 41 years old i didn't care he brought his wife and his daughter to the gym his daughter and his wife was videoing he knocked him out with a head kick in the first few seconds his daughter started laughing
9:56
his wife said ooh and i said let me see that video and this wife said no i already deleted it but i seen the video from his daughter's phone and she sent it to the coach and started watching us yeah that's what he gets that says his birthday he said he
10:11
we didn't he didn't know he was doing kicking that's what he mean he kicked me in my leg twice he said no we need to do that again that's a 9 minutes your birthday [Laughter] [Music] yeah my coach didn't like that dumb he was worried that there was one soon
10:32
[Music] [Music] that one was good whoa it's a pretty spicy sauce so when someone's like that's good with a poker face i'm just no it's a good flavor to it mm-hmm that's spicy really good flavor so you're very vocal about your love for
10:58
your hometown of houston not the least of which when it comes to the food offerings do you have a go-to order at mike's seafood anything you are that might see for is good anything i promise you you go to anything you order don't matter what it is
11:11
i don't even like oysters but there but there they smell better but i've never tried them they smell better i'm sure they're good i don't like oysters but i'm sure they're good what is the turkey leg hut it's a place a restaurant that serves big turkey legs that
11:30
grab the bone and the meat just fall off the bone it's pretty good they put all kind of um spices on it um like rice um i believe they do macaroni and cheese too they put on top of it lobster i believe and crawfish i put on top of the turkey leg it's pretty good
11:52
i'm drinking water no you know it's okay yeah i think i'll go in too so this next one is to bomb beyond insanity think about it with spicy food you can't let it touch your lips right because you get the burn you can burn the burn that's what
12:09
makes you want to quit but you know not today [Music] what's good whoa okay now then again [Music] yeah that one's a little different y'all did that on purpose on that one it's like someone you know you got swishing around yeah yeah yeah [Music]
13:10
that one's crazy that one's crazy i think it's making it worse now yeah so when we had t-paint on the show i know just chill for a second [Music] you may have told me some t-pain yeah ain't hurting you no it is it is let's take our time for a second sure
13:35
sure let's slow it down and then just be careful around your eyes you know if you sweat around your eyes you'll want to do that but don't do that because you'll have spice on you oh y'all got extra yeah yeah we have uh fully stocked lifelines over there
13:52
but you already have the ac on though no no it gets very hot in here actually okay t-pain when he was on the show he talked about the downside of owning luxury imports what's the biggest pain in the ass thing about being a lamborghini owner i guess right now because of
14:10
clover the worst shops in italy is closed down right now am i gonna win some money if i eat all this what kind of money i'm gonna win if i ain't gonna win no money we could start right now dom how much you got on you dom how much is in the wallet
14:27
[Music] i'll tell you about t [Music] what are your thoughts on electric or self-driving cars like could you ever park a tesla between two of your lifted trucks yeah i just brought a model x yeah i like the electric cars and i was looking into the porsche
14:49
um tycoon those are pretty good too so you need to tell me these next two right here are higher than that so here's what i'll say here's what i'll say i think that if you can get past this sauce you can get past any sauce in the world this is
15:09
been in our lineup since the beginning of time because it's such a show-stopping sauce you know you were cruising along just no problem no problem no problem the bomb it's always just a hard road block and the dude over there he probably like yeah we got his ass now
15:27
yeah he just wait they've seen some they've seen some in here [Music] i got big lips too so oh you know you're supposed to put this on your lips but try it out if it works so if i bump up tomorrow y'all know it came from this that might have helped a little bit
16:00
actually you might be onto something here so in addition to excelling in contact sports like mma obviously and then football which i know that you played in college you also keep the competitive juices flowing with the occasional round
16:17
of golf what drew you to the sport and then what's the part of your game that you think needs the most improvement drew me to the golf sport because they don't want to always say that i'm rich and so i said okay i'm southern where rich people do them so i
16:31
started playing golf and i love it i love golf it's competitive you know doesn't matter how long you've been golfing everybody still sucks every now and then so i feel right on in do you have a 19th hole tradition probably just take some shots take shots
