This is Making the Grade for UFC 265: Lewis vs. With that said, there’s a lot to unpack from UFC 265 so let’s take a look at what passed and what failed from Saturday night’s pay-per-view event.
Aldo has now positioned himself for a marquee fight at bantamweight with the possibility of another title shot maybe just one more win away. In the co-main event, Jose Aldo looked better than ever as he boxed up Pedro Munhoz over three rounds to win a unanimous decision, his second in a row at bantamweight.įighters like Aldo, who are getting older and dropping down a weight class, aren’t supposed to be improving at the rate he’s been improving but that’s exactly what’s happening. Well, Gane answered those questions rather emphatically with his third-round TKO stoppage against Lewis and now he owns a piece - albeit a controversial slice -of the UFC heavyweight title. Fair or not, Gane had to dispel the notion that he was playing it safe and winning decisions rather than going out and eviscerating his competition. In his last two fights against Alexander Volkov and Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Gane won comfortable decisions but heavyweights are rarely afforded the luxury of winning five-round fights without absorbing some kind of criticism for not getting the finish. The French heavyweight put on a dominant performance before stopping Derrick Lewis in the third round to claim the interim UFC title and set up an eventual showdown with his former teammate Francis Ngannou. An undefeated record with six consecutive wins in the UFC still wasn’t quite enough for Ciryl Gane to graduate from prospect to contender but that all changed on Saturday night.
