"HOW ABOUT THIS: Mike Tomlin explains his chest-beating blow-a-kiss post-game celebration vs Ravens. It's an homage to MMA Fighter Derrick Lewis. I have no idea who that is. pic.twitter.com/cxI3oe0Job - Andrew Fillipponi (@ThePoniExpress)"
Mike Tomlin celebrated the Steelers' playoff-clinching 26-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens by beating his chest and blowing a kiss, a move associated with Derrick Lewis. Tomlin framed the gesture as a tip of the cap to Lewis and expressed respect for Lewis's approach to his career. Derrick Lewis is a fan-favorite UFC heavyweight known for knockouts and humor, holding the promotion record for KO/TKO victories with 16 and two title challenges. Lewis enters UFC 324 on Jan. 24 on a two-fight finishing streak, while Tomlin prepares the Steelers for a Wild Card matchup against the Houston Texans.
