Like most guys, UFC heavyweight fighter Derrick Lewis likes to take off his pants when things are getting a little too hot downstairs.

He also enjoys knocking people the hell out and, as Saturday night proved, is pretty good at it, too.

Taking on No. 5 ranked heavyweight Alexander Volkov, the No. 2 ranked Lewis found himself in a war for the better part of the three rounds the two men were scheduled for.

Then, like a flash of lightning, and with only double-digit seconds left before what was looking like a Volkov win by decision, Lewis managed to catch Volkov off balance and delivered a massive right hand setting up an astounding knockout victory.

An amazing finish, but even better may have been the first words he said when UFC commentator Joe Rogan went to interview him after his big win.

A clutch knockout machine and yet so very relatable.

Derrick Lewis can do it all.
