After completing high school, Derrick was charged with aggravated assault. At first, he was placed on probation for two years.
Because Derrick violated probation, he was sent to prison. According to Sportskeeda, he was sentenced to five years in prison.
Fortunately, he was released after three and a half years. When he was released from prison, a friend introduced him to mixed martial arts.
At first, he worked as a rickshaw driver and also continued to box. After competing in his first professional bout, he made the decision of his life – to become a boxer.
He recently fought for the title on the 13th anniversary of his release. Yes, Derrick has confirmed that this day is very important to him.
It is known that he was under pressure to join the fight Ciryl Ganes in UFC 265. Sadly, his title hopes ended in the third round after opponents knocked him down.

I like the humble way @Thebeast_ufc To be. He was breached probation and served OVER THREE YEARS IN CAUSE bc no one helped him pay his fine. Now he owns a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a McLaren. Buy a car for EVERY family member. Truly a boss. WHAT #ufc #UFCFightnight # ufc262
