Houston native Derrick Lewis knows his hometown has faced plenty of adversity over the past few years. So an arctic blast that left much of the state of Texas without power is just another obstacle to overcome.
Lewis, who fights Curtis Blaydes in the UFC Vegas 19 main event on Saturday, said his family has persevered through the cold snap where freezing temperatures knocked out electricity for much of the state as officials have scrambled to restore services.
“Everything so far so good at the house has been good,” Lewis said during the UFC Vegas 19 media day on Thursday.
