There’s a particular brand of magnetism that surrounds a post-fight interview. In the stronghold of the UFC, intense and raw emotions combine to form candid and memorable exchanges. Even amidst the adrenaline rush, it’s these unscripted dialogues that are remembered. They often lend an endearing human touch to the otherwise fierce competitors. One such exchange between commentator Joe Rogan and UFC fighter Derrick Lewis has now become one of those unforgettable moments.

A post-fight ‘quip’ became a source of inspiration for an unexpected and highly entertaining venture. During a post-fight interview, Joe Rogan asked Derrick Lewis why he had removed his pants, to which Lewis, referring to his testicles, humorously responded with, “My b**ls was hot“. Fast-forward to the present day, and this seemingly spontaneous interaction has inspired a unique and hilarious advertisement for Manscaped, a male grooming company.
In an instance of turning humor into opportunity, Manscaped truly capitalized on this comment, crafting a commercial modeling Lewis’s candid phrase. Perfectly capturing the essence of the interview, the ad featured Lewis candidly addressing a condition (dubbed ‘My b**ls was hot’) that he was able to beat using Manscaped’s grooming kit. In the ad, Lewis presents the benefits of the product, emphasizing how his “b**ls are smooth, fresh, and most importantly, cool“.
Fans go haywire over the ad based on Joe Rogan and Derrick Lewis
No sooner had the ad gone live on the internet than fan reactions started pouring in, the majority hailing the commercial as an instant classic. The Twitter responses varied from uncontrolled laughter to genuine applause for the brilliant concept.
Reacting to the ingenious use of Lewis’s comment, one user wrote,
Hahahahahahahaha what a W. Best way to capitalize from his last fight.
