Derrick Lewis' NSFW Celebration Earns Praise from UFC Champ Adesanya

Last weekend, UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis delivered a spectacular first-round knockout victory over Tallison Teixeira at UFC Nashville. However, it was Lewis' post-fight celebration that truly stole the show.

After dropping Teixeira with a vicious overhand left, Lewis quickly went on to celebrate in his own unique way. First, he recreated Israel Adesanya's iconic "three arrows" celebration, which the UFC middleweight champion had used after his own recent victory. But Lewis didn't stop there, as he then proceeded to "mark his territory" in his opponent's corner in an NSFW act.

Unsurprisingly, Adesanya took notice of Lewis' antics and was quick to show his support, shouting out "The Black Beast" on social media and calling him his "twin." According to Lewis, the reason behind his over-the-top celebration was that Teixeira's corner had been "talking s**t all week" leading up to the fight.

With the win, Lewis now holds a professional record of 29-12 and 1 no contest. Given the lack of a clear contender for the heavyweight title, another victory or two could potentially propel Lewis towards a shot at the championship belt.
