After negotiations for Derrick Lewis to take on Heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, stalled, the UFC chose to match him up against newly minted top three contender Ciryl Gane. Most recently, Lewis pulled off a highlight-reel upset knockout victory over long-time top contender Curtis Blaydes. Gane enters this matchup with an undefeated record having dominated heavyweight elite fighters Alexander Volkov and Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Joining these two title fights on the card are integral matchups in the Batmaweight and Welterweight divisions. Former Featherweight champion and current fourth rank Bantamweight contender Jose Aldo will take on the number eight ranked Pedro Munhoz. Right before this fight, welterweights Vincente Luque and Michael Chiesa will fight it out for a spot in the top five.

All the action will go down on August 7 and here’s where you can tune in.
