Derrick Lewis proves age is just a number with devastating knockout power at 40

Derrick Lewis is one of the UFC's most feared knockout artists, and turning 40 hasn't slowed his power down one bit. Nicknamed The Black Beast, Lewis holds a UFC record 15 knockouts in mixed martial arts, including wins over Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov, and remains ranked in the heavyweight top ten since debuting for the promotion back in 2014. His devastating one-punch power keeps proving decline theories wrong, most recently with a finish of Rodrigo Nascimento. Lewis joins a growing list of aging UFC threats, including Rafael dos Anjos and Jim Miller, who continue competing at elite levels well into their late 30s and 40s. Known for relentless power and ferocious knockout instincts, Lewis remains proof that some fighters never lose their hands.
