The UFC awarded an interim UFC heavyweight title to Ciryl Gane after he beat Derrick Lewis by TKO last night at UFC 265. The win puts the 10-0 Frenchman on a collision course with his former teammate Francis Ngannou.
Ngannou, who won the UFC heavyweight title with a destructive win over Stipe Miocic in March, gave a quick and positive reaction to Gane last night.
Impressive performance from Gane !
He's now a legit contender.
