Welcome to another episode of "Does Derrick Lewis Still Have It?"
The Texas-based heavyweight is two months past his 39th birthday and seemingly light years beyond his octagonal prime, but he's at it again Saturday in the main event of an ESPN-streamed Fight Night show at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.
Lewis was shut out by Jailton Almeida in his last fight six months ago, is 1-4 across his last five outings and hasn't strung together two wins in more than four years. He's matched this time around with Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Rodrigo Nascimento, who's 11-1 as a pro, 4-1 with a no contest in the UFC and unbeaten since a KO loss to Chris Daukaus in October 2020.
