The clash will go down in Houston, Texas, i.e. Lewis’ hometown. ‘The Black Beast’ will look to get his hands on UFC gold in front of his home fans.

However, he will have a tough task at hand, as Gane is a unique fighter. His fluid movement and awkward style are a nightmare for any heavyweight to handle. That being said, Lewis can put anyone to sleep with one shot. And, he will have 25 minutes to land that blow.

There have been too many occasions where ‘The Black Beast’ has been counted out. However, he has repeatedly proven everyone wrong to earn his spot in an interim title fight.

What’s next for the winner of Derrick lewis vs Ciryl Gane?

As mentioned earlier, the winner of this intriguing heavyweight contest will be crowned the new interim champion of the division. So, it only makes sense that they get to unify the belt against the champion, Francis Ngannou, next. ‘The Predator’ is currently on the sidelines, having become the undisputed king of the division at UFC 260.
