Derrick "The Black Beast" Lewis is one of the most feared knockout artists in UFC history, and he's bringing his signature humor with him to the White House.

Ahead of UFC Freedom 250, Lewis sat down with us to discuss preparing for a historic fight card, why he thinks President Trump isn't actually his biggest fan, and how he'd explain MMA to a Latino grandma at home. (Spoiler: it involves a chancla.)

Lewis is set to face Josh Hokit on June 14 as part of the UFC's historic White House event celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
