Em busca de retornar ao caminho das vitórias, Derrick Lewis se prepara para duelo contra Rodrigo Zé Colmeia neste sábado (11). Favorito nas casas de apostas, o norte-americano evita menosprezar habilidades do rival, mas garante já possui nome ideal para desafiar caso triunfe no UFC Saint Louis. Insatisfeito com revés, o atleta colocou alvo em Jailton Malhadinho.

“Estou de olho em uma revanche contra o (Jailton) Almeida. Depois que eu passar essa luta, sem menosprezar meu adversário, eu gostaria de ter essa luta contra o Almeida de novo. Dessa vez nos Estados Unidos. Não quero voltar ao Brasil”, declarou Lewis em entrevista no Media Day.

Além de expressar desejo pela revanche, Derrick revelou ter tido problemas antes de enfrentar Malhadinho e afirmou que performance foi prejudicada diante do brasileiro

“Eu estava com físico em dia para aquela luta. Eu estourei meus dois ombros duas semanas antes da luta. Eu aceitei a luta, assinei o contrato e dias depois me machuquei fazendo treino estúpido de jiu-jitsu. Então não pude performar bem e soltar um soco. Na semana da luta eu tive uma infecção nos dois ouvidos ao mesmo tempo e demorei três semanas para melhorar depois da luta”, concluiu.
