The Countdown to UFC 265: Lewis vs. Gane Officially Begins

The countdown is on for UFC 265: Lewis vs. Gane.

This Saturday, UFC 265 will take place from the Houston Toyota Center live on pay-per-view. The headliner will feature heavyweights Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane fighting it out for the interim heavyweight championship, with the winner guaranteed to face undisputed champion Francis Ngannou later this year.

Derrick Lewis will be bringing a four-fight winning streak with him into the event, with the last two being KOs, while Ciryl Gane will carry an undefeated record into the Octagon when he meets The Black Beast.

In addition to the main event, the co-main will feature the legendary José Aldo in action against Pedro Munhoz in an all-Brazilian affair that has big-time fireworks written all over it. Additionally, top-10 welterweights Michael Chiesa and Vicente Luque will butt heads as well.
