‘UFC 265: Lewis vs. Gane’ Unpacks Heavyweight Title Picture
There’s a lot going on in the UFC heavyweight division these days. Saturday’s UFC 265 begins the road to clarity. An interim heavyweight title fight headlines the card at Toyota Center in Houston, with top-ranked contenders Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane set to collide in a bout that will determine who faces Francis Ngannou in a title unification match later this year. The original plan for the card called for Ngannou to defend his belt against Lewis (25-7 MMA, 16-5 UFC). However, Ngannou was not able to prepare effectively for the date, and the promotion ultimately went to Gane (9-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) as a solution to keep the weight class moving. Although he should’ve been fighting for the undisputed belt, Lewis is not bothered by his situation. “The Black Beast” resides in Houston, and he’s just happy to compete in front of his people in the headliner of an event that airs exclusively on ESPN+ pay-per-view beginning at 10 p.m. ET. Prelims begin at 6 p.m. ET. Buy: UFC 265 …

Expected to cost tens of thousands of dollars out of diminishing HFPA coffers, the Golden Globes group’s decision to not fork out travel for what one insider called “a vacation by any other name” was made in the past 24 hours, I’ve learned. Unlikely to change, the verdict comes as voting results on further bylaw and board changes by the fractured HFPA are expected to be made public today. (UPDATE: The bylaws passed; read the story here .) Before events seemingly shut down the trips, the HFPA was intent on paying up to $5,000 apiece for around at least a dozen members accredited at the September 1-11 festival to attend screenings and have sit-downs with participants. Providing some cover for the HFPA, the plan was actually signed off on by …
