Main Event: Interim World Heavyweight Championship – Lewis vs Gane
The interim UFC heavyweight championship was awarded to undefeated striking sensation #3 Ciryl Gane as he put forth an intelligent offense against #2 Derrick Lewis in front of a hostile Houston hometown crowd. Gane peppered Lewis with punches, avoided the power shots, and finished by TKO in the third round.
Following the bout, Gane said, "I'm happy, but I'm feeling a little bit bad for my man in front of his fans... big love for Lewis and the fans. No secrets, that was the game plan. This is not just for me, this is for my team, my family, and my country."
Co-Main Event: Aldo vs Munhoz
Former two-time UFC world featherweight champion #5 Jose Aldo and surging finisher #9 Pedro Munhoz went the distance and stood toe to toe with each other. Aldo showcased his brilliant boxing and his trademark kicks were back on display as he made it two wins on the spin after dropping his first two bouts since his move to the bantamweight division.
Upon winning via unanimous decision, Aldo said, "I want to be a champion of this division. I worked really hard in Brazil and that's why I'm here tonight. You can bet the next guys are going to see me even more aggressive."
