At 33 years old, Derrick Krantz has fought 36 times professionally, knuckled up with some of the best in the game, and has been in and out of the UFC. So what keeps the machine running?

“Back when I first started fighting I never had any shortage of fights,” Krantz explained. “Just being able to not really have a technical training camp and just staying ready, I was able to fight whenever I wanted."

Krantz hit the ground running in his MMA career. Debuting in July of 2008, Krantz fought three times before the end of the year.
