UFC recently announced the Interim Championship match (Interim) of Heavyweight between Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane will be held at the UFC 265 event on August 7.
This was a rather unexpected notice, when the reigning champion Francis Ngannou won the championship belt 3 months ago and was not so absent too long on the UFC match.
But UFC also has their reason. The tournament tried to rematch the rematch of the Francis nunnou vs Derrick Lewis 2, unfortunately the nunnou said he was not ready to protect the belt in August.
“Nothing is right here!”, Ngunnou wrote on social networks after learning that the match Derrick Lewis vs Cyril Gane will determine the temporary champion.
Ciryl Gane recently defeated Alexander Volkov very convincingly at UFC Vegas 30, showing comprehensive technical style, technical style and adaptability to all opponents. Ciryl Gane is holding 6 consecutive wins at UFC up to the present time.
Derrick Lewis also has 4 consecutive victories in heavy. In the last upper station, Lewis had Knockout another talent of the weight class, Curtis Blaydes in the second half.
