UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis named his favorite victory in his career.

"The reason I consider the knockout in the fight against Volkov my favorite is that he said a lot of nasty things about me. And I love America, I was born in the USA. I used to love watching Rocky Balboa movies, and in those movies, the hero fought a guy from Russia. My victory in the fight with him was in the style of the 'Rocky' movies. It's what I wanted because the guy looked like the Soviet boxer Ivan Drago," said Lewis in an interview with Paramount UFC Crew's press service.
