Watch: UFC’s Derrick Lewis Slams Travis Browne In Post-Fight Interview, Hollers At Ronda Rousey

Derrick Lewis knocked out Travis Browne at UFC Fight Night 105 in Halifax, Canada on Sunday, and decided to rub more salt into his opponent’s wounds.

UFC’s Derrick Lewis Criticizes Ronda Rousey’s Boyfriend Travis Browne In Interview

In his post-game interview, Lewis called out Browne, UFC champion Ronda Rousey’s longtime boyfriend, for his alleged history of domestic violence, an accusation brought up by Browne’s ex-wife.

“I just knew I had a bigger heart than [Browne],” heavyweight Lewis, nicknamed “The Black Beast,” said in the Octagon right after his win. “He call himself a man, but he likes to put his hands on women. So, forget that guy. I got much more heart than he has.”

Lewis then directly stated he was vying for Rousey’s affections:

“Where’s Ronda Rousey’s fine a– at?” he said.

Lewis (18-4) finished off Browne (18-6-1) in the second round after knocking the latter to the floor, then landing punch after punch on Browne’s face. Some fans seemed to think the referee waited too long to stop the fight.

Later in his post-fight interview, Lewis answered a question about some lethal first-round kicks he took to his midsection.

“I just gotta do number two, that’s all,” he said. “It’s not really hurt from the kick. I just got a boo-boo.”

The 32-year-old fighter also said he feels he needs a break.

“All the training and all the sex I’ve been getting, my body needs some time off,” said Lewis, who has been trolling Browne and Rousey on social media recently.

Fans and MMA reporters immediately took to Twitter to express how great they believed Lewis’ interview was.

Its’ been a difficult stretch for both Browne and Rousey, who was knocked out in just 48 seconds by Amanda Nunes in her much-anticipated comeback at UFC 20 in December. The couple have been together since at least August 2015, shortly after Browne’s then-wife Jenna Webb, who was estranged, accused the fighter of domestic violence.

Browne has repeatedly denied those accusations.
