UFC cult hero Derrick Lewis was at it again on Sunday, delivering another viral moment during a post-fight interview.
The 40-year-old American never shies away from speaking his mind, on Sunday in Nashville he put his wife on notice with an X-rated reply to Daniel Cormier.
UFC 318: Holloway vs Poirier 3 | SUN 20 JULY 12PM AEST | One of the most iconic careers in MMA history will come to a close, as UFC veteran Dustin Poirier makes his final walk to the Octagon for a trilogy with current BMF Champion Max Holloway. | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports.
After securing a dominant victory over Tallison Teixeira and extending his record for the most knockouts in UFC history, Lewis was asked what he wants next.
Nobody was expecting the answer that was about to follow.
'I've been gone for two weeks … so I want my wife next,' Lewis said as laughter broke out among those in attendance.
'It's going to be a lot of ground and pound, grounding and pounding … she know what it is. Look at that fine a**.'

Derrick Lewis' wife could only laugh at his response.
Lewis was the headline event at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee in what was his first fight in over a year.
Teixeira on the other hand was chasing his third win inside the past 10 months in his third fight inside the Octagon.
The 25-year-old Brazilian landed a telling left hand in the opening exchanges which appeared to wobble Lewis, but moments later the script was flipped.
As he wiped his right eye and struggled to see, the UFC veteran unloaded a monster right hand that he quickly followed up with a left hook that sent Teixeira to the canvas.
Lewis pounced and unleashed punch after punch as Teixeira attempted to dodge and get back to his feet, but the referee stepped in and waved an end to the bout after only 35 seconds.

Mixed day for Aussies in Nashville
Two fighters out of Australia were on the card in Nashville with mixed results on the day.
Jake Matthews was on the undercard but the rising Aussie showed he is worthy of a main card fight after securing his third-straight win in the Octagon.
After eating a few heavy kicks from Chidi Njokuani, Matthews took his opponent to the mat before he quickly locked in a rear naked choke that forced Njokuani to tap out.
It wasn't to be however for Junior Tafa with the Kiwi born fighter falling to Tuco Tokkos late in the second round.
Tokkos took away Tafa's big strength by taking the fight to the canvas before he locked in an arm-triangle choke.

Manny happy returns: Tim Tszyu reveals revenge mission
Steely-eyed Tim Tszyu is drawing inspiration from Manny Pacquiao as he strives to emulate boxing's incomparable legend and pen his own epic comeback tale. Tszyu will share top billing with Pacquiao when he fights, literally, to save his career in a mouth-watering world-title rematch with Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas on Sunday (AEST). While the Australian son of a gun's showdown with Fundora is the co-main bout on a star-studded PBC pay-per-view blockbuster at the MGM Grand, Tszyu knows he remains some way from matching Pacquiao's unrivalled record as an eight-division king. But Tszyu's career trajectory is otherwise eerily similar to the great Filipino's. Pacquiao may now be sitting pretty in boxing's hall of fame but, just like how Tszyu's back-to-back losses to Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev have placed the Australian superstar's career at a crossroad, only boxing aficionados remember he also suffered devastating successive setbacks before surging again. American Timothy Bradley Jr controversially stripped Pacquiao of his WBO welterweight strap in 2012 before Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez flatlined him six months later. Rather than throw the towel in, Pacquiao punched on and not only resurrected his reputation but thrust himself into sporting immortality with a succession of wins over Brandon Rios, Bradley in a rematch, Chris Algieri, Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman. He was already star in the boxing world but that second coming cemented Pacquiao's status as a global icon. Tszyu hopes he is on the same path to potential mega-money legacy fights with the likes of Jermell Charlo, Thurman and even possibly pound-for-pound champ Terence Crawford. "There's no such thing as a a successful story without failures," Tszyu said ahead of his date with destiny. "Yeah, a couple of bumps on the road doesn't mean you're completely out. "But this year is going be like a vengeance year. That's the word for me. "The starter was Joey Spencer (in March) and it's going to keep going and keep on rolling." Tszyu vividly recalls being a starry-eyed 14-year-old watching on at the MGM Grand, the iconic venue where he will square off with the "Towering Inferno" Fundora, when Pacquiao KO'd Miguel Cotto to reclaim the WBO strap in 2009. "Yeah, I was that little kid up in the top going 'Manny, Manny, Manny' and he gave me the little wave," Tszyu said. "So hopefully I can do that go back for the next generation and inspire the next person to be fighting at the MGM Grand one day." Knowing it's boom or bust, Tszyu insists he is no longer falling for the play of looking ahead to what - and who - is is his sole focus. "It's different feel about him this time around," he said. "I've had a whole different feeling towards this whole camp. I've literally paused everything in my life, all the external noise is just gone. "When you have that, it's an unbelievable feeling because when you're so obsessed with reaching a certain goal, that's all that there is in this life for me. "It's Fundora, by KO."

A gripping new thriller from the author who gives pulp fiction a good name
In Battle Mountain, he's 51, having aged along with the series since it began in 2002 with Open Season (when he was 32). Wife Marybeth, an active presence in every book, is now the director of the Twelve Sleep County Library, her research expertise regularly assisting Joe's investigations. And the little girls who sat on his knee in the early books are now young women making their ways in the world, away from home, their situations periodically foregrounded. Box's books can be read as stand-alone stories, but the series works best as a chronologically ordered account of Joe's life, the characters around him, and the changing face of rural America. Unlike Reacher, Joe is a stickler for the rules and his 'Dudley-Do-Right reputation' precedes him wherever he goes. That he is an honourable man can readily be seen in how he goes about his work and his life. When he comes across the state governor fishing without a licence in one of the early books, he tickets him the same way he would anybody else. When interviewing somebody he suspects of stepping out of line, he's learnt that a friendly opening – 'I guess you know why I'm here?' – is far more effective than a confrontation. He has a special dislike for trophy hunters, poachers, eco-terrorists and those who hunt out of season. Loading Again unlike Reacher, he's not skilled in the martial arts. He's not even a good shot when he grudgingly finds himself forced to take up arms, and he always needs help when the serious shooting starts. Which is where master falconer, former special forces operative and survivalist Nate Romanowski comes in. Introduced in Winter Kill (2003), he serves more or less the same function as Reacher does in Child's books. When he's accused of a crime he didn't commit, Joe stands by him, winning his undying loyalty. Simmering away beneath the surfaces of the stories is Box's dismay with the peculiarly American chaos that is also known as the state of the nation: the dangerous secret organisations festering around the fringes of its everyday life; the corrupt public officialdom that tarnishes its democracy; the plight of army veterans who've been exploited in hopeless foreign incursions; the hostility to migrants. In Battle Mountain, Marybeth's online investigations reveal that an FBI agent who has been asking after Joe and Nate had been engaged in several significant domestic terrorist events that have remained unhealed wounds on the American psyche (and that include the January 6 riots in the nation's capital). Nate is at the heart of the new book. Joe doesn't appear until page 51, although he and Marybeth are still central to the plot. Nate is bent on tracking down and wreaking vengeance upon Axel Soledad, a fellow special forces soldier gone rogue, who first appears in Shadows Reel (2022), and has been lying in wait ever since. As Box calmly and capably winds together the various plot threads, events unfold in a savage terrain littered with small towns, isolated farmhouses and shacks, and a tourist haven for privileged easterners known as the B-Lazy-U Ranch. At stake is what is described early on as not just a threat to the characters but dangers that could 'possibly alter the trajectory of the nation itself'. And like most of the preceding books in the series, it's unputdownable.
