UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis not worried about PED users, says 'that stuff don't help'

Derrick Lewis is quickly making a name for himself in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight division. The titanic knockout artist may not have gotten a spot in UFC 203's co-main event opposite Fabricio Werdum, but he is working on headlining the Fight Pass "Prelims" for UFC Fight Night 97 on Oct. 15 from SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, Philippines, against rising finisher Marcin Tybura.

With his divisional stock rising and popularity among casual fight fans climbing, Lewis has begun to chirp a little more than usual. The man known as "Black Beast" recently weighed in on the continuing struggle with performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in mixed martial arts (MMA).
