Derrick Lewis brings up Travis Browne’s past abuse allegations from ex-wife Jenna Webb
In what was a heated back and forth fight between two of the best heavyweight contenders in the UFC, Derrick Lewis best Travis Brown via stoppage in the second round back in February of 2017. The fight was awarded Fight of the Night honors. However, it was Lewis’ allegation in the post-fight interview and his comments on Ronda Rousey that stole the attention of every fight fan.
“I just knew I had a bigger heart than him. He calls himself a man, and he likes to put his hands on a woman.” Lewis said, shedding light on Browne’s then-wife Jenna Webb, who accused him of domestic abuse. Browne denied any such wrongdoings, even the investigation done by the UFC legal team cleared him of any indecent behaviors towards his ex-wife.
“Where’s Ronda Rousey’s fine a** at?” Lewis concluded, much to the surprise of many fight fans, and needless to say, his wife April Davis. While Lewis’ comments were nothing but yet another gag, fight fans continue to share it on social media, making it one of the most talked-about post-fight Octagon interviews and one of the most hilarious moments in the UFC.
Travis Browne did not address Lewis’ accusation until after Derrick Lewis’ loss to Mark Hunt in the next fight just three months later. Browne took to Instagram and rained down on Lewis for giving up against Hunt.

Needless to say, Lewis returned the favor in Travis’ next fight, after the heavyweight contender suffered a submission loss against Aleksei Oleinik at UFC 213. Lewis took to Twitter in yet another hilarious post, consoling Browne’s wife Ronda Rousey.

Derrick Lewis’ wife April Davis bans the Black Beast
Needless to say, his comments on Ronda Rousey did not go too well with Lewis’ wife April Davis, who, as Lewis reveals, handed him a s** ban. “She could talk about Tupac all day and day long, but if I say anything about Ronda, she gets mad.”
Recently, ahead of his interim title fight against Ciryl Gane, Lewis revealed how his wife April Davis wants him to keep a low profile and not live a lavish life, blaming the unnecessary attention, and “Ronda Rousey lookalikes.”
“The scalawags come out with their little short dresses and all that. Trying to come up to me with the Ronda Rousey lookalike mask and wig and everything trying to holler at me.”
It’s quite hilarious that even to this day Derrick Lewis continues to mention Ronda Rousey in some way or another. It won’t be wrong to say that Lewis is one of the most genuine and funny guys to ever step inside the Octagon, and it is his honesty that has made him one of the most popular fighters on the UFC roster.
