Derrick Lewis has changed things up to a huge degree ahead of his pivotal UFC 216 matchup with Fabricio Werdum. For the entirety of his UFC career thus far, Lewis has refrained from dieting and hasn’t been fully committed to training. Mostly because he hates it. But after considering retirement following an exhausting loss to Mark Hunt, Lewis is trying a new approach.

In an interview with FloCombat, “The Black Beast” amusingly talked about his previous eating habits and what he has altered:

"I was still eating fried chicken, hamburgers, all of that fight week," Lewis said.
