Derrick Lewis is back in the win column – and a free agent – after his 14th knockout win at UFC 291.
Lewis starched Marcos Rogerio de Lima with a flying knee and pounded his way to a finish just 33 seconds into their pay-per-view main card bout. Then he took off his shorts to celebrate because, well, things were hot.

There are no ways his balls got hot that fast
