UFC 265: ‘Lewis vs. Gane’ Live Results and Highlights

The Octagon returns to Houston for tonight’s UFC 265 event, a thirteen-bout fight card headlined by heavyweights Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane.

Lewis (25-7 MMA) will enter tonight’s interim heavyweight title fight with Gane (9-0 MMA) sporting a four-fight winning streak. In his most recent effort this past February, ‘The Black Beast‘ scored a sensational second round knockout victory over perennial division contender Curtis Blaydes.

Meanwhile, Ciryl Gane will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since June, where he picked up a unanimous decision victory over Alexander Volkov. The Frenchman has gone a perfect 6-0 under the UFC banner since joining the promotional ranks in August of 2019.

UFC 265 is co-headlined by a key bantamweight matchup featuring former featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo taking on Pedro Munhoz.

Aldo (29-7 MMA) most recently competed back in December, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Marlon Vera. That win snapped a three-fight losing skid for the Brazilian legend.

Meanwhile, Pedro Munhoz (19-5 MMA) last made the walk to the Octagon in February where he picked up a unanimous decision victory over Jimmie Rivera. ‘The Young Punisher’ has gone 4-2 over his past six appearances overall.

If that wasn’t enough to get you interested, tonight’s UFC 265 main card also features a key welterweight contest between Michael Chiesa and Vicente Luque.

Chiesa (18-4 MMA) will enter tonight’s bout sporting a four-fight winning steak, his latest being a drubbing of Neil Magny back in January. ‘Maverick’ has not tasted defeat since July of 2018, when he was submitted by Anthony Pettis in a lightweight scrap.

Meanwhile, Vicente Luque (20-7-1 MMA) will enter UFC 265 on a three-fight winning streak, his most recent being a submission victory over former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley back in March. ‘The Silent Assassin’ has won 9 of his last 10 fights overall, with his lone loss in that time coming to Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson by decision.
