3 years agoIt wasn't meant to be for Derrick Lewis on his home turf, as he lost out on the UFC interim heavyweight title by way of third-round TKO to Ciryl Gane on Saturday. After winning four fights in a row, Lewis earned a shot to compete for the interim title against the French sensation in Houston at UFC 265's main event. Lewis was unable to get in close on Gane, who did a great job with his kicks to keep Lewis at bay. Even when Lewis picked up the pace and aggression, he still could not land the knockout shot to win the contest. Lewis is still always a potential threat to end anyone's night with a big strike. The striking just was not there on Saturday, though, with 16 significant strikes through 13:48 minutes of total action.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
