IMG/GIF Derrick Lewis issues open challenge to fans to spar with him; one dude shows up!

[MovinOn]

Ha ha! The Black Beast is entertaining AF and the fan has cojones!

Only in MMA. Professional cage fighting is the only sport where a six foot four, 265 pound UFC heavyweight could throw up his Black Beast bat signal and get a response. Derrick Lewis took to social media to issue an open sparring challenge and one MMA fan answered the call.

Keep in mind, Lewis is 11 days out from an UFC fight versus Marcin Tybura. Crazy that Lewis issued the open challenge and wild that a fan answered the call.

Derrick Lewis is a pro, beating up on a fan and it’s the best thing.

Kinda crazy doing that so close to a fight, what if the fan lost his shit and cut him etc, fair play to the fella for turning up, he got his 5 mins i guess.

You guys act like getting in a fight is a big deal. All you have to have is enough balls to get over the nerves and show up. Getting your ass kicked is not even close to being as bad as getting divorced.

I would have shown up expecting to get tuned up and hoping to get a few in myself. Thats all sparring is.

Well... I've had the living shit beaten out of me in sparring. Sparring is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

True but sparring is part of it. I personally fucking hate it but it is necessary. Its better than getting beat up in the actual fight. At least thats what I have strived for.

Haha TRUE!... I watched 2 of my best friends go
through a divorce and both of them will 100% testify
to that shit.
