“I don’t care about that,” Lewis told MMA Junkie. “I live in Texas. It ain’t nothing new. I’ve been living in the South all my life, and it ain’t nothing I hadn’t seen before or discussed about. I don’t care about that type of stuff. I just wanted to help him.”
“I’ve always been that type of guy that I like to help people more than I like to help myself and so I just seized the opportunity,” he added.
And what does he want in return?
This Good Samaritan just has one modest request…
“Just send me some Popeyes,” he playfully remarked. “Give me that 12-piece.”
With the police and firefighters making public news announcements that they were only going to help in “life-or-death situations,” Lewis knew he couldn’t be a passive bystander.
To him, the satisfaction of helping those in need far outweighs his successes in the UFC ring.

“It feels good to help people,” commented the Houston, Texas, heavyweight on Twitter.
Kudos to this notoriously tough guy for softening the hardened hearts of our divided nation with his wise words backed by BOLD action.
Now, somebody get this guy a 12-piece…
