The UFC fanbase is a global one, and UFC pay-per-views definitely garner massive interest in the United States and abroad. Saturday night’s UFC 265: Derrick Lewis vs Cyril Gane is no exception, with the interim heavyweight title on the line. Live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, the action inside The Octagon is sure to be memorable with a strong main card.
Headlined by Lewis (25-7-0, 1 NC) and Gane (9-0-0), UFC 265 features three top-10 bouts in each the heavyweight, bantamweight, and welterweight divisions. With five fights total, the main card is notably light after losing Amanda Nunes’ bantamweight title defense due to a positive COVID-19 test late last month.

NUNES Fight Update for UFC 265
As strong as the main event of Lewis vs Gane is, the fight card for UFC 265 was supposed to feature one of the sport’s best talents, Amanda Nunes, in a title defense.
The two-time champion tested positive for COVID-19 on July 29, thus canceling the scheduled bantamweight bout against challenger Julianna Pena. Rather than taking on another fight, Pena (11-4-0) will have to wait until possibly December for her shot at Nunes (21-4-0). Pena is currently ranked fifth in the bantamweight standings.
