Joe Rogan once hosted Derrick Lewis on his popular podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ Here the fighter talked about his health condition and revealed that his testosterone levels were below average. Joe could not believe this. “He told me when he was on the podcast that he got tested. And he has low testosterone. And I was like, ‘ How the f**k do you have low testosterone? ‘” said Rogan.
In a conversation with Michael Bisping on a later podcast, Rogan brought up Lewis and his incredible performance in the UFC. Both praised Lewis’s record of “clean knockouts.” Bisping clarified what he meant by clean, iterating that he never tested positive for performance-enhancing substances.

How did Derrick Lewis find out about his testosterone problem?
Derrick Lewis revealed in an interview prior to UFC 29 that he faced a significant challenge with severely low testosterone levels. These came to light when he 1underwent blood work before his scheduled fight.
Fortunately, he received medical assistance. His doctor prescribed him medication to tackle the blockages he was experiencing. Lewis has always struggled with back problems, and his doctor prescribed drugs in accordance with the USADA laws to help alleviate the problem.
According to Lewis, the medication aids in eliminating the excess material around his stomach, allowing him to absorb essential nutrients and encouraging his body to burn fat efficiently. With this positive development, the fighter looked impressive ever since. Lewis is currently out of contract, having fought his final fight in the UFC with a spectacular win at UFC 291.
