Derrick Lewis loads up a punch at UFC 265 in Houston.
More than 16,000 fight fans witnessed the Interim Heavyweight Championship at the Toyota Center for UFC 265 on Saturday. Ciryl "Bon Gamin" Gane defeated Houston's own and MMA fan favorite Derrick "The Black Beast" Lewis. Although the results did not land in the Bayou City's favor, the build up was exciting and Lewis is still the pride of Houston MMA. His teammate and Houston transplant, Lauren Murphy will take on Valentino Shevchenko at UFC 266 for the Women's Flyweight Championship next month. (Photos by Jack Gorman)
