The top heavyweight UFC Ciryl Gane in his next fight may battle for the belt of the interim champion of the promotion. To do this, Gane need to beat Derrick Lewis. Their fight will take place on August 7 in Houston as part of the 265th UFC event. This information, referring to the president of the organization, Dana White, was reported by well-known journalist Brett Okamoto.
Reigning UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou turned down a fight against Lewis and wanted to have a cash fight with Jon Jones. Probably because of his position in the promotion, they decided to take such drastic measures.
