Heavyweight glory is on the line when the UFC returns to Houston on Saturday. Houston’s own Derrick Lewis (25-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) takes on the undefeated Ciryl Gane (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) for the interim heavyweight title in the UFC 265 main event at Toyota Center in Houston. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+. The winner presumably will move on to a title unification bout with champion Francis Ngannou – who has voiced his displeasure that there’s an interim belt situation happening to begin with. Ahead of the fight, recently retired fighter and UFC analyst Paul Felder takes an in-depth look at headliner, as well as other fights on the card, along with current fighter and analyst Michael Chiesa (17-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC), who takes on Vicente Luque (20-7-1 MMA, 13-3 UFC) on the main card.
