Derrick Lewis Struggled to Get a Fight, Struggles with Poutine Ahead of UFC Edmonton
Briefly

Lewis expressed unfamiliarity with Poutine, saying, 'What? No, what is... Pou-Pou-Poontang? I've heard of poontang, but I’ve never heard of no Poutine.' His humorous quip emphasizes his surprise over the local dish not being part of his Texas diet.
After the details of Poutine were explained, Lewis stated, 'No, no, no. And what's up with they liking tea with milk?... They can mix some tea with some milk in it. What is that?' This illustrates his bewilderment at Canadian food culture.
Commenting on his struggle to secure fights, Lewis noted, 'We've been trying to get a fight for months. And we couldn't get anything... I hate waiting this long for a fight, so I just appreciate him for accepting the fight.' This highlights the challenges faced by fighters in the UFC.
Regarding why opponents have turned him down, Lewis clarified, 'they [the UFC] were just making excuses.' This remark underscores the underlying frustrations he faces in securing bouts.
