Lewis explained why he doesn't like to fight in Brazil

Former contender for the UFC heavyweight title Derrick Lewis stated that he does not like to perform in Brazil due to high taxes in this country.

On the night of November 5, in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 231 tournament in Sao Paulo, the American will have to share the octagon with the favorite of the local public Gilton Almeida.

“A few weeks ago I got a call about this fight and I immediately said yes. But I didn’t know where we would fight. They only told me about this later. Because of the terrible taxes, I have always avoided performing in Brazil. I was drawn into this battle by cunning.

I'm looking forward to returning home. In fact, I will fight not for myself, but for the tax authorities. After I pay for the trainers and everything else, I will have pennies left. And this is provided that nothing is stolen from my pockets here,” Lewis said at a press conference.
