Such a awesome guy ! Also love seeing as the fights went on in the clip, you notice hes progressively getting in better shape in each fight. Getting leaner, faster and stronger. Glad hes able to focus on mma full time.
Yea, he's barely had time to be a full time athlete! Hopefully he is able to keep up with his own super-fast start. I'd like to see him take some time after the Lewis fight if he wins. The very top of the division has so much more experience than him.
@@extragoogleaccount6061 see its so hard to do that. With the heavy weight division there so short on quality talent in comparison to 155,170,185. Just not enough guys. Your gonna see similar situation with tom aspinal. He beats lewis . Theres no slowing down.
I have been following this dude through his whole career and his skills keep improving. Especially with him being a full time fighter now that is a big change. I expect big results from this man.
@@thestonksmarket1897 dog i lobe Lewis but clearly you haven’t been a fan of his for a long time. He was ko by Matt mitrione, people argue he lost to Latifi. If Derrick doesn’t get a ko he usually loses by points and I can see the same in this fight. But idk my guts telling me they may have rushed Daukus a little bit here
They pushing him to far to soon 3 4 fights in he's fighting dude with most heavyweight knockouts same thing happened with Darren till but if he wins I'll be impressed
@@QuanNguyen-vw1pu I don't know I feel like he is a very bad matchup for Lewis, The Black beast tends to get picked apart by technical strikers. Of course Lewis has way more experience but I don't really think he ever uses his experience in his fights. He just wings haymakers and stand straight up when someone tries to lay on top of him.
Brooo I completely agree and I get it because of his age they trying to push him as fast as they can and he is pushing him self just as fast..Hope it works out cause dude is awesome and love his hand speed at heavyweight but when you get to Lewis we talking whole next level shit I don't think he is quit ready for that level should have took couple more fights to keep getting in better physical shape cause it has gotten better each fight Lewis is a brick shit house 🏠 idk bout this one
@@seanhickey1999 yes I agree but Lewis is also the come back kid for a reason cause it only takes one shot and not even a clean shot at any angle if Chris gets over zealous and throws the huge combination a I gurantee leweis is not gonna just cover up!! I'm routing for Chris but the risk is wayyy to high in this one I think should have took couple more fights continue to keep working on fitness level before this fight happens
The dude is a can that got lucky, he's not elite at all and had back to back brutal ko losses, he should stay in top 15 because he can't hang in the top 10 and doesn't stand a single chance in the top 5
He's got that pop has his shoulder nice and loose at the start and just pops it he throws amazing shots and turns them over beautifully this dude is gonna be huge tbh
This is what natural progression, muscle development and weight loss looks like. You can tell that he's putting the work, the hours and likely has been able to pivot to making this his career full-time somewhere before the Olenik fight.
I hope not lol. I was hoping with Daniel losing to stipe we could finally keep man handles away from the top of the sport. sadly the most promising heavyweights are probably the guys you just mentioned and tai tuivasa. Personally I think Gane beats all of them but we'll see
God, I can see why he's already fighting The Black Beast. That last KO with the mouthpiece flying was sensational. I would really like to see him in a fight with either Miocic or Aspinall for #1 contender, but still.. Derrick is going to bring it to him.
Chris should’ve never been a HW at this level. I think 205 would’ve been a better chance, more risky of course. For all of yall that think he didn’t do nothing at HW you stupid. He cleared out everybody not in the top 15. His attitude and skills makes him one of my favorite fighters, you a true G Chris much respect 🫡
I love this guy's punching style. Fun to watch for sure. I hope he has a great career. I wonder what would happen if he'd drop a weight class or two and carry that power.
This guy is a beast!! Technical, but let’s those hands go when the time is right. Unbelievable that he has this start to his UFC career, and just recently started training full time. He has only just begun 🤙🏼👊🏼
I have a brown belt in Judo, from many years ago, but don’t practice anymore because of car accident. I appreciate how he manhandles his opponent’s, many technical wasn’t the best choice of words to describe that, lol 😂 Cheers 🤙🏼
Speed Kills Baby! CJ's hand speed will take him to the very top & is the most feared weapon he possesses! Future champion of the UFC Heavyweight Division!
idk he knocked out 2 40 yr olds at the end of their career. Lewis also defeated the same two. earlier in their career. plus lewis faced harder, more respectable opponents. i'm putting my money on Lewis.
How is this a good matchup for Lewis. I love watching Derek fight but he usually gets picked apart by guys who have any semblance of technical ability.
@@upupupandaway sorry that was meant to say Volkov (corrected now). And I was implying that Derrick Lewis would be victorious in a similar way to how he was being beaten by Volkov until he got a late ko.
*I sincerely hope he beats Lewis.* Chris will struggle with the size disadvantage against guys like Ngannou, Gane, Blaydes; but with Lewis he might have a chance if he just chips away, moves, counters with a 1-2 and slips out of range. He can’t brawl against Lewis.
I don't get how this is the same guy that fought Lewis. Really didn't show up that night, didn't even throw that deadly left hook he has. Maybe he realised after he landed that elbow he couldn't hurt Lewis? Who knows. Looked scared from the start tbh
All I could hear was "Stop resisting!" while beating those guys
LOL
💀
He should pull off a knee choke submission
@@anglojojo he had his chance to do that against Lewis, but instead he got put to bed 😴

Chris is a likable guy. Regardless of what happens this weekend I hope he finds more success!

He can easily fight at light heavyweight
Uuuum i got something to tell you
I have been following this dude through his whole career and his skills keep improving. Especially with him being a full time fighter now that is a big change. I expect big results from this man.
Bro had a glass chin
Crazy how he's only recently went full time with this, impressive stuff
The way he connects on the target is just amazing
Those hands! His finish against Abdurakhimov must have been special for him since all his other victories weren't in front of a crowd lol

This upcoming event is either gonna be a guaranteed slugfest with a devastating KO to end it, or we get a reincarnation of Ngannou vs Lewis
Damn, I miss Dan Hardy. One of the best at calling finishing sequences
Daukas and Aspinal are two exciting fighters in that division that will be the next faves of that division

His beard adds 20 years
He’s like a heavyweight Dustin Poirier. Scary

I'll be honest bro he needs to fight for the belt ASAP. He's not a joke trust me. I said the same thing about Cyril Gane back in 2019.
Pillow hands!
Lewis is gonna smash this guy out in under a minute. Guaranteed
It was spit
@@ethancntower8850 I’ve never seen a heavyweight land 20 punches in a row and not put the guy down, he hits like a lightweight.
You can see his body changing with every single fight lol
He looks so different with the beards on and he looks good that way
Kinda looks like the current featherweight champ
Looks alright either way but yeah got that viking energy with the beard

Lewis for the win!
FINALLY! A fighter with my body type. 🤣
HO-LEE-SHIT that's the slowest spinning backfist I've ever seen @0:36
I predict he's gonna touch Lewis a little but get blasted to the shadow realm when he starts opening up with hooks.
Let's get all the Philly fighters on the same card at Wells Fargo. You'd be able to make some big fights and that crowd would be insane!
I love this guy's punching style. Fun to watch for sure. I hope he has a great career. I wonder what would happen if he'd drop a weight class or two and carry that power.
He definitely could go down in weight.. I think he would be a little too slow tho. Also. I think he beats Lewis! Let’s go!
@@tylerjudd1574 that would be fun to watch!
1:55 excellent footwork for a HW
Daukaus is another skilled HW after Ciryl and Aspinall
i understand he gets knock outs so i can’t doubt his technique but his punches are so awkward looking but surely successful
All the fights in this clip, further built my respect for ufc referees immensely
Very nice crisp boxing 🥊🔥
He’s on a new kind of KO streak now, ok’ Chris Glassjawkus.

Chris trying to Rodney king Derek Lewis on ESPN, should be a banger. I'm rooting for Lewis to end this cops streak.
Man I sure do miss dan hardy commentary
«Daukaus is so long!» «so long dc! So long»
I think it’s dope you can see how much he’s slimmed out from his first to his most recent fight. Dude is a workhorse
Fr guy was shaped like a bean bag chair
it looks like he's put on some muscle too, that KO of shamil was a HUGE improvement over his previous fight
