Derrick Lewis got carried away while celebrating his latest UFC win.
‘The Black Beast’ has become known for his post-fight antics, which often include stripping off and giving hilarious interviews in the Octagon.
Lewis picked up a record-setting 15th UFC KO win when he floored Rodrigo Nascimento in the third round of their Fight Night main event at Enterprise Center in St. Louis on Saturday night.
Nascimento was badly wobbled by a massive right hand before falling to the floor and taking several ground strikes that convinced the referee to call off the fight.
Lewis, as he often does, took off his shorts to celebrate the massive win.
This time he used them to fan down his stricken opponent, who was momentarily lifeless on the mat before being given the all-clear by UFC doctors.

The 39-year-old then took things a step further by partially pulling down his shorts to expose his backside to the crowd and they cheered after being mooned.
“I appreciate St. Louis for letting me show my naked a*** tonight,” Lewis said at the start of his post-fight interview with UFC legend Michael Bisping.
“I couldn’t let no taxicab driver from Brazil beat me. This is my first time even hearing of the guy. You know I couldn’t let someone like that beat me.”
Lewis, who was recently linked with a move to the WWE, went on to playfully dismiss talk about what’s next for him as a UFC fighter.
He added: S***! What you talking about? I better sit my black a*** down for a second. S***! I’m getting too old for this s***.
“I don’t know. We’ll see. You don’t see too many almost 40 motherf***ers doing s*** like that. I gotta rethink this s***.”
Lewis was a top UFC heavyweight contender, but heading into his latest main event he had lost four of his past five fights and seemed to be done competing with the best.
A win over Nascimento could start another title run or it could be the perfect end to his 41-fight career, which began all the way back in 2010.
