BRUTAL.
If you missed UFC Vegas 19 last night, the heavyweight tilt between Derrick Lewis and Curtis Blaydes did not disappoint. At the 1:26 mark of the second round, Lewis landed a brutal uppercut, dropping Blaydes to the mat like a ton a bricks.
With his 12th career knockout, Lewis ties former champion Vitor Belfort for the most ever.

However in the post-fight presser, Derrick was right back to being his entertaining self, telling fans that he’s bringing his “hot balls” back to Texas.
“I understand the reason why it was so cold in Houston, because my hot balls wasn’t there the whole week, y’all was freezing. So I’m coming back tomorrow, the news says it’ll be 70 degrees, so we looking up.”

The joke was a refence to a previous post-fight conversation with Joe Rogan.
"My balls was hot!" 🔥🤣@Thebeast_ufc's answer, @joerogan's response – one of the great moments inside the Octagon 😂
