While Ngannou came up short in his bid to defeat Stipe Miocic for the latter's UFC Heavyweight title, Lewis still hasn't lost interest in pursuing a fight with 'The Predator'. Speaking to the Slip n' Dip podcast, Lewis stated--
“Yeah hopefully we can get something done this year man...Hopefully we can get something before he (Ngannou) turns 50 on us,” Lewis said, subtly referencing the rumors of Ngannou falsifying his legal documents so as to hide his real age.
Lewis added that he isn't looking to be the best fighter in the world, but is simply getting inside the Octagon and doing his job. Lewis vs. Ngannou is definitely a bad-blood matchup that MMA fans have been waiting to see, and this rumor could be indicative of a potential showdown between the two KO artists later this year.
