Derrick Lewis
Definition
An American professional mixed martial artist competing in the heavyweight division, widely known for his knockout power and a candid, humorous personality that contrasts with his stoic fighting style.
A colloquial personification of 'the black beast' energy, referring to someone capable of ending a confrontation with a single, highly unexpected strike.

If Derrick Lewis practiced his cardio as hard as he practiced his post-fight interviews, he would have retired with three belts and a lifetime supply of Popeyes chicken.
I told the accountant my tax returns were like a Derrick Lewis fight: mostly quiet shuffling around the cage, followed by one massive swing that hopefully hits the mark.
Watching him fight is an exercise in extreme patience, right up until the moment he turns an opponent's lights out with the casual ease of a man checking if he left the kitchen stove on.
