How To Watch Or Live Stream UFC 265: Lewis Vs. Gane

With UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou unable to face his next opponent until September, the UFC decided it did not want to wait that long for a fight between Ngannou and No. 2 ranked UFC heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis. With that, the promotion decided to book Lewis opposite the No. 3 ranked Ciryl Gane for an interim title fight. That bout headlines Saturday’s UFC 265 pay-per-view card.

For Lewis, who calls Houston home, this is his second shot at UFC gold. He lost his first UFC title fight when Daniel Cormier, who held the title at the time, made quick work of Lewis when he submitted him in the second round. Lewis is coming off a knockout win over Curtis Blaydes and has won his past four outings.

Gane is 9-0 in his MMA career. He joined the UFC in August 2019 with a record of 3-0. His first fight with the promotion was a first-round submission win over Raphael Pessoa The French fighter is coming off a June decision win over Alexander Volkov. He has the longest active winning streak in the UFC’s heavyweight division.
