UFC 265: Lewis vs. Gane - Unofficial Awards

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Rafael Fiziev fighting Bobby Green at UFC 265Given the main event tends to dictate the success or failure of a card, it feels safe to say UFC 265 will largely pass into oblivion. The one-sidedness of the contest between Cyril Gane and Derrick Lewis didn’t make for the most entertaining contest, though the finishing sequence did make up for it somewhat as Gane put away one of MMA’s most prolific punchers. However, the rest of the card delivered in every way. Jose Aldo turned back the clock against a game Pedro Munhoz. Vicente Luque secured a breakout win with a submission win over grappling ace Michael Chiesa. We even got the standup battle we were hoping for out of Tecia Torres and Angela Hill we were hoping for six years ago. Of course, there were more happenings that will be overlooked, but I’m hoping to cover that with my Unofficial Awards….
