#UFC265 MMA Betting Preview
Expect a fired-up crowd Saturday night, as hometown heavyweight #2 Derrick Lewis (25-7) takes on #3 Ciryl Gane (9-0) in the night's main event, which is slated to award the winner the interim heavyweight title less than five months after current heavyweight champ, Francis Ngannou defeated Stipe Miocic to become the heavyweight king. While Ngannou left to spend some time in his native Cameroon after winning the belt, the UFC opted to move forward with the interim title fight, where the winner Saturday night will face Ngannou down the road.
Fan-favorite Lewis, who holds the record for most knockouts in the heavyweight division, will have a tough test in extending his record, as the Frenchman, Gane, has impressed, running his record to 9-0 since entering the world of MMA.
