Derrick Lewis challenges the Internet to come spar with him and a MMA fan actually showed up

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.

Thanks for the only one showing up at 11 to spar #houstonmuaithai 🦍 @ad0885 photo: @thetruthjackson
