As he sat on his chair following the second round of his heavyweight bout against Alexander Volkov at UFC 229, Derrick Lewis's trainer told him to listen: he was in the biggest fight of his career and was two rounds down with just one left.
In the most dramatic of fashion, Lewis somehow turned the fight around.
With 17 seconds left of the clock, Lewis landed a massive right hand which put Volkov on the canvas. Five seconds later, the fight was over as the American unleashed on the Russian as he lay on the deck.

Lewis followed that incredible comeback with a memorable interview.
Shortly after KOing Volkov, Lewis removed his pants. Asked by Joe Rogan why he did that, "Cos my balls was hot," was his response.
