    Derrick spent half of his camp helping Houston and its civilians through the hurricane. I don't give a damn how you pull out of a fight, you're a HERO. God bless you Derrick Lewis

    Man I can sympathize with Lewis. I just recently hurt my lower back while training and it is the worst, it limits your entire upper body movement. I know Derrick Lewis has it much worse seeing as his lower body is affected. The worst thing is that you can't train/fight/do anything at all since your back is the backbone of your entire body. You're also more susceptible to re-injury and making it worse(learned the hard way). There is pretty much no way to train around an injured back, you got to give it time to heal for at least 6 months - year, which sucks for someone who's entire income is based on training and fighting. You feel completely helpless and weak, it sucks.

    He should go to where Garbrandt went for his back injury and get it fixed there. I mean it seems to have worked out for him and something like that needs time to heal obviously. If it's still hurting him now then taking a shot isn't going to help in the long run meaning that hes going to be out and injured again at somepoint. I don't even think the UFC would give him a fight in this sort of condition and having such high risk of injury even if he would be doing better again by himself.

      Again, a simple google search would make you smarter. It's a common compound injected for sports injuries. Idk why you guys are arguing with a proffesional fighter over which treatment he got, I think he would know

    • @kdub9198
      @kdub9198 7 лет назад +1

      E O I never argued with anyone. I told the guy commenting about coritzone injections that boxers get those injections in their hands. When did I ever say anything to Derek Lewis? Pay attention buddy.

    it's true, it really is worse to get pulled out of a fight hours before,because i got pulled out of 3 kickboxing fight from a dumb ass doctor who checking our pressure like a couple hours before we fight, offcourse it will be high i'm an activite hyper guy and i never seem to pick back up after those pulled out.
    it's hard training and get pulled out .

  • @kdub9198
    @kdub9198 7 лет назад

    This is the guy that quit in the Mark Hunt fight right? He needs cardio. You could tell he was looking for a way out in the Hunt fight but Hunt never upped the pressure so Lewis never found a good time to quit. He's obviously got head issues. He retired after the Hunt fight and then didn't want to get out of bed for this fight. He doesn't have the "kill or be killed" attitude he should probably retire.

    • @kdub9198
      @kdub9198 7 лет назад

      liam dug Who knows what the reason is but he doesn't have the attitude of a fighter. You have to be competitive and want to win. He seems like a real chill dude, non competitive, don't care which way the wind blows. That's not a bad thing but it's bad if you're a fighter.
