UFC 265 ‘Embedded,’ No. 1: Derrick Lewis guarantees victory over Ciryl Gane

The UFC returns to pay-per-view this Saturday with UFC 265, which means the popular “Embedded” fight week series is back, as well.

UFC 265 takes place at Toyota Center in Houston. The main card streams live on ESPN + pay-per-view, with prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.

The main event features a bout that will decide a new interim UFC heavyweight champion as Derrick Lewis (25-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC) and Ciryl Gane (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) are set to clash to see who will unify with Francis Ngannou.

The UFC 264 co-main event featured a high-stakes bantamweight matchup with former champion Jose Aldo (29-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC) continuing his run in the weight class against the always tough Pedro Munhoz (19-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC).

The first episode of “Embedded” follows the featured competitors during fight week. Here’s the description from YouTube:

Pedro Munhoz wraps up camp in Florida. Vicente Luque arrives on a redeye. Derrick Lewis does S&C in the Houston heat. Jose Aldo plans to recapture gold. Ciryl Gane tries to improve his form… at golf.
