In a hilarious revelation, UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis recently shared a funny alternative career passion that has left fans and critics alike stunned. The 39-year-old, known for his impressive knockout power and entertaining interviews, revealed that if he weren’t a professional, he would likely be involved in the adult entertainment industry.
In a candid interview, Lewis confessed, “What would I be doing if I weren’t a fighter? Oh, I’d probably be doing p**n stuff, doing the p**n. Because that was one of my passions.” The UFC star attributed his fascination with the adult industry to his early teenage years, saying, “When I was a 15-year-old kid, you know, whenever I first learned how everything goes, that was one of my passions growing up.”
Lewis’s surprising admission has sparked a mix of amusement and disbelief among fans and critics, with many taking to social media to express their reactions. While some have praised Lewis’s honesty and willingness to share his unconventional passion, others have expressed concern about the potential impact on his professional image as a UFC fighter.
It is worth noting that Lewis’s passion for adult entertainment predates his professional fighting career, which has seen him headline a record number of cards. While his career has been marked by notable victories, including a highlight-reel knockout of Alexander Volkov in 2018, Lewis’s revelation has sparked questions about the depth of the heavyweight division.
Despite the controversy, Lewis’s candor has also earned him praise for his willingness to be open and honest about his interests outside of the octagon. As one of the most popular heavyweights in the UFC, Lewis’s revelation serves as a reminder that professional athletes are multidimensional individuals with diverse passions and interests beyond their athletic pursuits.
