Floyd Mayweather's physical altercation with Jake Paul has drawn a hilarious reaction from UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis. The Houston native was amused by what went down at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens last Thursday.
In a recent interview with The Schmo, Derrick Lewis concurred with Mayweather's decision to create a ruckus after Jake Paul tried to run with the 50-0 boxer's cap. Furthermore, "The Black Beast" also mocked "Money's" new bearded look, remarking that the former Olympian looked like Bozo the clown.
"Hey, I gotcha hat. That was funny," chuckled Derrick Lewis. " I would probably make a scene like Floyd Mayweather. Especially if I didn't shave. If I go a whole week without shaving, then I look like bozo the clown while doing interviews."

Derrick Lewis predicts the winner of Stipe Miocic vs Jon Jones
After months spent in contract negotiations for a mega-clash between Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou, it appears the promotion has finally moved on from the highly-anticipated match-up.
Dana White recently stated that the UFC brass were targeting Francis Ngannou vs Derrick Lewis 2 for summer 2021. White also added that Stipe Miocic could possibly be the heavyweight fighter to welcome Jon Jones into the 265-lbs bracket.
Speaking with sports journalist Helen Yee, Derrick Lewis gave his pick for the speculated match-up:
"I believe that's a real good matchup for Jones. I believe that's more of a easier matchup for Jones than me or Franics [Ngannou]...I believe Jon would beat Stipe," said Derrick Lewis.
