Derrick Lewis hits out at the mixed martial arts media ahead of UFC 277
Lewis, the most prolific knockout artist in both the heavyweight division and the entire antiquity of the organization, claimed that he planned to purchase the UFC in the future, before unloading a series of barbs in the direction of the mixed martial arts media.
“With the mega millions, I’m gonna buy the UFC then I’m gonna talk so much sh*t to the reporters,” Derrick Lewis told assembled media during his media availability ahead of UFC 277. “Ooh, I’m gonna dog y’all a** out like you do us fighters. F*ck y’all.”
“Y’all talk so much sh*t about me for no reason,” Derrick Lewis explained. “I’m sitting up here telling y’all a** the truth. I don’t give a f*ck about this fighting sh*t. They’re up here telling me, ‘Oh, I don’t think Derrick got it.’ Motherf*cker, I been telling y’all. F*ck y’all. It is what it is. I don’t care. I don’t like y’all.” (Transcribed by MMA Mania)

Julianna Peña bills herself and Amanda Nunes as the current best fighters in the world
Previewing the ‘Lone Star State’ rematch, Peña claimed that this weekend’s replay against Nunes will determine, once and for all, who has the “biggest ovaries” between both – as she bills the matchup as a clash of the two best female mixed martial artists on the global currently.
“At the end of the day, Amanda (Nunes) and I are the two best fighters in the world,” Julianna Peña told assembled media during her UFC 277 media availability. “You’re literally getting the two best fighters in the world that are going to collide on Saturday night.”
“I can’t tell you that I’m going to pull a rabbit out of the hat,” Julianna Peña continued. “I can just tell you that I’m going to stand there, toe-to-toe with the best in the world. And I’m going to give my best, and we’re going to see whose ovaries are bigger. I’m willing to bet that that’s me.”
Peña’s stunning upset victory over Bahia native, Nunes, snapped a spectacular six-year undefeated run for Nunes atop the bantamweight and featherweight thrones – as well as coming as her first loss in a whopping 12-fight undefeated spree.
