Derrick Lewis represents the United States within the heavyweight ranks. Hailing from New Orleans and relocating to Houston, he transitioned into combat sports following incarceration. Operating out of the 4oz Fight Club, this orthodox striker once secured the heavyweight championship while fighting for Legacy Fighting Championship. Throughout his tenure in the promotion, he gained notoriety for delivering explosive knockout power and establishing the all-time record for stoppages via strikes.
The heavyweight enters this bout carrying a professional standing of twenty-nine victories, fourteen defeats, and one no-contest. His path to this match includes a recent technical knockout loss against Josh Hokit this past June and a defeat by punches to Waldo Cortes-Acosta earlier in 2026. Prior to these setbacks, he secured back-to-back knockout wins over Tallison Teixeira and Rodrigo Nascimento following a decision loss to Jailton Almeida.
