The UFC 265 weigh-ins were largely uneventful, but there was still some drama before the Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view to crown an interim heavyweight champion.

Twenty-five fighters on the card officially made weight, with Manel Kape the lone exception. Kape came in at 129 pounds for his flyweight bout against Ode Osbourne. There was little concern for the main eventers, but Derrick Lewis did come in just half a pound under the 265-pound championship limit. "The Black Beast" will be the far bigger man on fight night, as he was 17.5 pounds heavier than Ciryl Gane prior to rehydrating.

A fan favorite inside the Octagon, Lewis (25-7, 1 NC) is known for delivering shocking knockouts. He most recently demolished Alexey Oleynik and Curtis Blaydes with punches, and comes into this title fight with a four-fight win streak. "The Black Beast" officially tipped the scale at 264.5 pounds.

"Bon Gamin" has quickly made a name for himself inside the UFC. The 31-year-old fighter is 9-0, and has looked great through six fights inside the promotion. Gane's current win streak is highlighted by a TKO win over Junior dos Santos, along with recent decisions over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov. The Frenchman came in at a streamlined 247 pounds.

UFC 265 prelims will begin with four fights on UFC Fight Pass and ESPN+ starting at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT. Action then moves to ESPN+ and ESPN for two hours at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, before the main card airs on ESPN+ pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET.
