“I’m feeling good. Rejuvenated. I love the sport again. I love fighting once again. I love doing the training inside of it, once again. I’m feeling pretty good. Feeling confident and feeling ready. Feeling hungry like I used to be whenever I first started and I’m excited to see how it turns out Saturday night.”

37-year-old Lewis, the #7 ranked heavyweight, will handle Sergey Spivak at UFC Fight Night from the UFC Apex on Saturday … and Derrick has visions of working his method back to the top of the department.
Of course, the department remains in a little flux after champ Francis Ngannou parted methods with Dana White‘s company … and Derrick thinks he can still win the strap.
“The path [to the title has] always been there, but you know, I really just got to take my time, fight by fight. I can’t really think that far ahead. I believe I still got a couple of fights to go and get back into that [title fight] talk. So, we just gonna take care of business Saturday and see where things go from there.”
As for what altered to make Lewis fall for mixed martial arts again, he says he simply recognized he was much better than how he carried out since late.
“I guess coming off the losses that I had and just knowing I could do way better than that.”
