Derrick Lewis put on one hell of a show Sunday night in Halifax, stopping Travis Browne with a vicious blitzkrieg of punches to score a dramatic come-from-behind win in the main event of UFC Fight Night 105.
And whether it was Lewis' grit or his mic drop of a post-fight interview, "The Black Beast" certainly left the MMA world talking. Check out reaction to UFC Fight Night 105 below.
