The UFC will return to the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, with a stacked card this Saturday, August 7, 2021.
The UFC 265 pay-per-view event will be headlined by an interim heavyweight title fight between Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane. The winner of the contest will face UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou sometime later this year in a champion vs. champion clash.
In the co-main event, Jose Aldo will lock horns with Pedro Munhoz in a bantamweight contest. The originally scheduled co-headliner of UFC 265 featured UFC women's bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes defending the former title against Julianna Pena, but the Brazilian had to withdraw due to a positive COVID-19 test.
