Derrick 'The Black Beast' Lewis (25W-7L-0D) vs. Ciryl Gane (9W-0L-0D) is probably the most anticipated fight of the month and in headlines as UFC #265. Lewis is a veteran in the sport and is one of the biggest punchers on the planet. He initially started training in boxing when he was 17 years old. Preparing for his first amateur fight, his boxing gym closed down unexpectedly. On a full college scholarship for football, Lewis violated a probation (a result of an "aggravated assault" charge he received 2 weeks after graduating high school) and went to jail for 3.5 years. He later continued to box under the tutelage of George Foreman, but after his first MMA victory, he chose to pursue a career in MMA instead. Derrick lost his first title fight against one of the best fighters in the history of the UFC, Daniel Cormier (Cormier won by rear naked choke). Since that fight, Derrick has improved a lot about his ground game, but he is still relatively early in his Jiu-Jitsu progression, currently holding a blue belt. Ciryl Gane is a French undefeated MMA fighter, who recently came into the spotlight after being a sparring partner to the current heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou. He has a much shorter fighting record than Lewis, but the type of opposition he has faced and defeated in his short career is no less than impressive (the last three opponents he defeated were Junior Dos Santos, Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov). This fight gets even more interesting when you take into an account how dangerous Gane is standing up. Before MMA, he had a career and went undefeated in Muay Thai. And even though there isn’t any information online about his grappling education, he already has 3 of his 9 MMA victories by submission. I can't wait for this fight! Hopefully both fighters will enter and exit the cage healthy. We are definitely in for a spectacle.
