Fighter Shlemenko said that the American Lewis attracted attention by insulting the Russians
Russian mixed martial arts fighter (MMA) Alexander Shlemenko responded to the American UFC fighter Derrick Lewis who insulted the Russians. His words are quoted by Sport-Express.
The athlete considered that in this way Lewis was trying to attract attention to himself. “He does not understand what he is saying. This is from a small mind. It’s hard to tell what’s wrong with his head. Need to check. I think someone else will show him for this, ”he said. Shlemenko added that now the American should be wary of fights with the Russians.
On July 27, at a press conference before the UFC 277 tournament, Lewis answered a question from journalists about racism. He stated that Russians and Germans are born with the swastika.
The American has 26 wins and nine losses in MMA fights. Another fight with his participation was declared invalid.
On the night of July 31, Lewis will fight at UFC 277 in Dallas, USA. His opponent will be the Russian Sergey Pavlovich.
