The UFC showcases the battle for the Interim Heavyweight Championship in the Main Event of tonight’s PPV! It’s going to be an all out barnburner for bragging rights between fight veteran Derrick Lewis and up-and-comer Ciryl Gane in the main event and a Bantamweight brawl between José Aldo Jr and Pedro ‘The Young Punisher’ Munhoz in the co-main event.
Returning to the octagon for that main event, we have fight veteran Derrick Lewis, entering the bout with a remarkable 25-7 record. The former Bellator and Legacy FC Champion, is currently ranked #2 in the UFC HeavyWeight rankings. Lewis will be banging it out in this Interim Title tilt against Ciryl Gane. Gane, the former TKO HeavyWeight Champ is currently at #3 in the UFC HeavyWeight rankings and is entering the bout with his own impressive, undefeated 9-0 record.
In the co-main event, we have a BantamWeight scrap between former three-time UFC FeatherWeight champion, Jose ‘Junior’ Aldo, the greatest FeatherWeight in mixed martial arts history; and his opponent, #9 ranked, Pedro Munhoz. Munhoz is coming at this off a win against Jimmie Rivera, with a current 19-5 record, Meanwhile, Aldo is coming off a victory against Marlon Vera, with an impressive 29-7 record.
Also on the card, we have a WelterWeight bout taking place between Vicente Luque and Michael Chiesa, an exciting Women’s StrawWeight bout between Tecia ‘The Tiny Tornado’ Torres and Angela ‘Overkill’ Hill, preceded by our main card opening battle between Bantamweights Song Yadong and Casey Kenney, as well as an eight-bout preliminary card.
