Derrick “The Black Beast” Lewis (25-7) is the second ranked heavyweight contender, and he’s deserving of a proper shot at the undisputed heavyweight title. Lewis is riding a four fight win streak, including two impressive wins over Aleksei Oleinik in August 2020 and Curtis Blaydes in February 2021. Lewis may have lost convincingly in a title fight against Daniel Cormier in 2018, but he does have a past win over current champion Francis Ngannou that same year.
Lewis is one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC in and out of the octagon. His rough boxing style has led to some of the most exciting knockouts in the sport, and he gives some colorful, hilariously honest post-fight interviews. He may be stuck with this interim title fight first, but expect Lewis to bring his best to this fight so he can soon get a highly anticipated rematch with Ngannou.
Ciryl “Bon Gamin” Gane (9-0) is the third ranked heavyweight contender, and this undefeated fighter has only been in the UFC for two years. So far, Gane has scored a Performance of the Night bonus win, a knockout of Junior dos Santos and a unanimous decision win of Jairzinho Rozenstruik. His latest victory was over top-five ranked Alexander Volkov, which put him in position for this Interim Title Fight.
The UFC heavyweight division is very crowded at the top with big names and bigger talent. The most obvious next man up is Stipe Miocic, who lost the title earlier this year so he’s not likely in the mix for now. Jon Jones, who moved up from light heavyweight, could shoot right into a full title shot but he and the UFC can’t agree on pay. Gane was the heavyweight champion in a smaller promotion earlier in his career, so he has experience in title fights. Can Gane earn his way into the octagon with Ngannou?
