Former heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has labelled Derrick Lewis the most powerful puncher in the UFC following ‘The Black Beast’s’ highlight reel knockout of Curtis Blaydes at UFC Vegas 19 on Saturday, leading to some criticism from the MMA Twittersphere.
“The Black Beast!!!!!! @Thebeast_ufc has the most power ever,” Cormier tweeted following Lewis’ second-round KO of Blaydes.
‘DC’ responded to the criticism by highlighting Lewis’ win over Ngannou from 2018 and the fact Lewis has more KO wins than ‘The Predator’ and just broke the record for the most knockouts in UFC heavyweight history at 12.
