Derrick Lewis’ run in the UFC might have come to an end.
The heavyweight prospect unexpectedly announced a possible retirement following his technical knockout loss to MMA veteran Mark Hunt at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 110 in Auckland, New Zealand.
Lewis was stopped by Hunt in the fourth round of their main event bout after a being dominated for the majority of the fight. The 32-year-old heavyweight seemed to have trouble moving in the Octagon halfway through his fight with Hunt. When asked by color commentator Brian Stann if Hunt’s leg kicks limited his mobility immediately after the fight in the post-fight interview, Lewis said that it was already an existing injury that was hindering him.
