“I know Derrick Lewis is from the ‘hood, but this is my ‘hood,” said Hunt, who has won three of his last five bouts.
As for the 32-year-old Lewis, who saw a six-fight winning streak snapped, he shocked fans in attendance by saying, “That was probably my last fight. I’m getting married next week, and I don’t like putting my family through all this. It will most likely be my last fight in the UFC.”
