American mixed martial arts fighter Derrick Lewis hopes that Dutchman Alistair Overeem will not retire after the defeat of Russian Alexander Volkov, as he still wants to fight with him.
“No, don’t go yet. It doesn’t matter to me that he just lost, I still want to meet him. So don’t hang your gloves on the nail yet, because I want to hit you a few times.
Alistair said that he would have an easy fight with me, as if it were easy money for him. What else did he say? That he never gave up fighting. But I called him four times in the last three years and he refused every time, ” – said Derek Lewis.
Recall that the fight between Volkov and Overeem took place on February 6th in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 184 tournament. Alexander won by TKO in the second round. As for Lewis, on February 20th in the main event of UFC Fight Night 185, he will fight against compatriot Curtis Blaydes.
