UFC heavyweight standout Derrick Lewis recently spent days – if not weeks – doing his part to help his hometown of Houston recover from the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Not that there’s every a good time for such a disaster, but for Lewis (18-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) it was especially bad timing, with his UFC 216 showdown vs. Fabricio Werdum (21-7-1 MMA, 9-4 UFC) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas roughly six weeks away. You have to wonder just how much training time Lewis lost as he dealt with obviously much more important things, like saving a Confederate flag-toting victim and other Houston residents from flood waters . If a short clip of Lewis showing off quick hands in sparring footage shared on Twitter is any indication, perhaps he made up for lost time.
