“The Black Beast Is Evolving”: Derrick Lewis’s “Terrifying” Physical Transformation Comparison Photo Goes Viral

Currently riding on a two-loss streak, UFC star Derrick Lewis squares off against Sergey Spivak at UFC Vegas 68 on February 4. While the heavyweight fighter endeavors to not face a third consecutive loss, he also believes that the fans haven’t given him due attention. Therefore, in an attempt to overturn his fortunes, ‘The Black Beast’ made drastic changes to his physique. The Louisiana-born now dons a slimmer physique as he lost 95 lbs in recent months. Regardless of his previous record, the fighter thus appears in the best shape of his life. It was a no-brainer that ahead of his rescheduled fight in the UFC Apex Facility, the fans finally took notice of the American fighter.

The recent Lewis pictures have made rounds on the internet and for a good reason. Markedly, the fearsome knockout machine took some time off after his last trip against Sergei Pavlovich handed him his third loss in the last 4 outings.

Derrick Lewis’s transformation that demands respect

The 37-year-old in his brief layoff utilized the time and trained under the fitness trainer Chris Hernandez. Staying away from the limelight worked wonders for Lewis.

Similarly, surging UFC prospect, Terrance McKinney, also previously shared a photo on his handle that showed the 26-10-1 record holder looking considerably slimmer than usual and breaking a sweat on the running track.

Thus, the #7 ranked heavyweight looks prepared to improve upon his UFC knockout record.
