"My ballz was hot"
~ Derrick Lewis - circa 2019
Derrick Lewis looks like a true heavyweight. He is big, he is brawny, he is funny and he even beats his chest when he wins - what more could you possibly want in a mixed martial artist.
That's Derrick Lewis for you ladies and gentlemen - a boulder-like fighter with two small boulders for his fists, who can boast of having many spectacular knockouts in his record - including the last-second knockout of Alexander Volkov in Russia which made sports fans all over the world gasp and try to pull their own hair.
About Derrick Lewis' Real Height
Derrick Lewis is on the taller side of the UFC roster - even in the heavyweight division. UFC used to list him at a most respectful six feet four inches and then 6'3" but if truth be told - most respectfully of course - Derrick is slightly shorter than that.
Mr. Lewis looks slightly shorter than Fabricio Werdum - who is closer to 6'3" than 6'4", looks slightly shorter than Curtis Blaydes (around 6'4"), and looks about the same height as Junior Dos Santos who is around 6'2.5" in real life. After many more such height comparisons, we think that Mr. Lewis' real height is somewhere between 6'2" to 6'3".
The real height of Derrick Lewis is
6'2.5" (190 cm)
