UFC 265 is set to get going this weekend from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. There is a five-bout main card highlighted by the heavyweight interim title fight between Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane. The event will air across the ESPN network, with the main card broadcast via ESPN+ PPV.
Lewis is the second-ranked heavyweight while Gane is the third-ranked heavyweight. They’re fighting for a newly-created interim heavyweight title.
