How to watch UFC 265: Lewis vs Gane on UK TV

The next major UFC event sees Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane fight it out for the interim Heavyweight Championship.

UFC 256 takes place on Saturday, August 7 - the early hours of Sunday, August 8 here in the UK - live from the Toyota Centre in Houston, Texas.

Lewis had originally been scheduled to fight the current Cameroonian champion Francis Ngannou.

That potential match-up, however, has now been delayed after Ngannou allegedly asked for a break to spend some time at home.

It was a request that has sparked an ongoing war of words between Dana White and Ngannou's management team.

The man stepping up in Ngannou's absence, the Frenchman Ciryl Gane, is currently undefeated with a 9-0 record.
