02:59But nothing's changed.

02:59I still work as hard as I ever have.

04:09Oh!

04:10Oh!

04:11Oh!

04:12Oh!

04:13Oh!

04:14And his territory is the block.

04:16He's like, only he can.

04:17He got a nervous corner.

04:19And he peed on him.

04:21There's two right here.

04:23Absolute chaos for less than a minute.

04:28The knockout record is still very safe for Derek Lewis.

04:33But I'm loving it.

04:44Back-to-back knockout wins now for Derek Lewis.

04:51Returned back Rodrigo Nascimento last May.

04:53Once a word with Dana White.

04:57Said this week, I could still get a title shot.

05:00I've never fought Tom Aspinall.

05:02Exactly.

05:03I mean, there's two right.

05:04So she gets to any Derek Lewis fight.

05:06He gets hurt early.

05:07He was wobbled.

05:07And then he just turns it around.

05:09Yeah, the thumb kind of, the knuckle of the thumb to share it kind of graze the eye of

05:13Derek Lewis, I mean, I can understand why the ref didn't stop it.

05:15Because it did look like a punch.

05:17But clearly took a knuckle to the eye.

05:19And then just swinging.

05:21Just beautiful.

05:22And a left hand right on the end of it.

05:25Puts to share it down.

05:26And then just a one-way ticket from there.

05:30Left hand right to the chin.

05:32And the fact that Derek Lewis threw that with essentially one eye, no depth perception.

05:39This man touches you, he will put you out.

05:43Add to the legend.

05:47They love a good show in Nashville.

05:49They love some hard hits.

05:52They love turning up the volume.

05:55Bob Perez, front and center.

05:58What a partnership they have.

06:00And he said this is as focused as he's ever seen.

06:03Derek Lewis.

06:05And it's hard to argue with that.

06:06He's doing his chunks into the front row.

06:09Oh, my gosh.

06:10Oh, here goes the job.

06:12He just pointed at me.

06:15To Sarah, trying to push Herzog off.

06:18He didn't think it was tight.

06:20But he ate so many big shots.

06:22He just went into like the 12th row.

06:23That went a little worse.

06:25All right.

06:28We will take a 30-second break.

06:31Oh, no.

06:31Let's do that break real quick.

06:34It will be for Derek Lewis when we come back to Nashville to wrap it up.

07:06The crowd is just living in this afterglow of what they just watched.

07:13They got exactly what they came for, which was another Derek Lewis knockout.

07:18Lance Taliesin to Sarah his first defeat.

07:20To make it official, here's Bruce Buffer.

07:23Ladies and gentlemen, referee Jason Herzog has got a stop in this contest at 35 seconds of the very first round.

07:31The time of the winner, by TKO, Derek, the Black Beast, Lewis.

07:52Derek Lewis, ladies and gentlemen.

07:55Derek, you were just on the phone with the president.

07:58That's crazy.

08:02You haven't seen this whole fuck with them talking about.

08:07Derek, the knockout king.

08:09You got him again.

08:11Then you go off to the side and you lift your leg and mark your territory.

08:14Why did you do that to the side of this corner?

08:17They been talking shit all week, man.

08:20Talking shit all week.

08:21I can't speak Portuguese, but I know for sure there's a type of shit about it.

08:26Fuck him.

08:28All right, Derek.

08:29Let's take a look at another knockout.

08:32He got you in the aisle where you're faking because when he went cool, you got him with the left hook that dropped him.

08:38Then you jumped right on him.

08:39Listen, he grabbed the cage to pull himself up off the ground.

08:44So I don't know.

08:45That's a whole ass move right there.

08:47I know I had his ass hurt.

08:50I was hitting my leg and everything.

08:51You are constantly doing this inside the octagon.

08:59We talked earlier in the week.

09:00You said you thought it was too soon for this kid to be in this spot.

09:04Did that give you confidence coming into this fight knowing that he would be a bit overwhelmed with the moment?

09:10I just knew he's been fighting to manage his whole career.

09:14So I appreciate you to help me with more.

09:17All right.
