Derrick Lewis is all set to face Ciryl Gane at the UFC 265 main event. The fighter will compete with Gane for the interim UFC Heavyweight championship. Gane is undefeated in his MMA career and is considered one of the best fighters in the UFC Heavyweight division. However, Lewis will still enter this fight as the slight favorite as ‘The Black Beast’ is one of the hardest strikers in UFC history.
Lewis holds the record for most KO wins in UFC history and his striking prowess is incredible. While everyone in the UFC knows about Lewis’s striking capabilities, a boxer in his gym was unaware of the same. Back in December 2019, Lewis shared a video on his Twitter account which saw him knocking out a boxer in under 1 minute.
