""I ain't gonna lie to you, I'm in the best shape of my life right now," Lewis said on "The Beast and the Cowboy" pocast. "Mentally, physically, everything's going great right now. The UFC provided me with some great peptides, and I've been taking it every day, and I've been feeling the difference.""
"UFC did NOT provide Derrick Lewis with peptides. Peptides are prohibited at all times under UFC and athletic commissions' rules. Derrick is referring to injectable compounds that are 3rd party tested and certified as ALLOWED AT ALL TIMES by https://t.co/ogprOsBA7H - Jeff Novitzky (@JeffNovitzkyUFC) January 19, 2026"
""I was so proud of Derek today, dude. He was a freaking video game yesterday," Perez said. "Mental clarity was on. So I'd make a call or an adjustment. He would do it immediately. His recovery was stupid... And I was really mind blown how quickly the peptides took effect. It's gonna be a game changer for him.""
Derrick Lewis reports being in the best physical and mental shape of his life and credits peptides he says the UFC provided. He states he has taken them daily and experienced noticeable improvements in mental clarity, physical performance, and recovery. Peptides are prohibited under UFC and athletic commission rules, and UFC senior vice president Jeff Novitzky clarified the promotion did not provide peptides but that Lewis received third-party injectable compounds certified as allowed at all times. Coach Bob Perez described rapid gains in focus, immediate responsiveness to coaching, and accelerated recovery, calling the effect a potential game changer.
