The imposing victory of Cyryl Gane about Derrick Lewis No. UFC 265 messed with Dana White's spirits. In the press conference after the show, held this Saturday (7), in Houston (USA), the president did not hide his excitement for the duel between the Frenchman and Francis Ngannou for the unification of the heavyweight title (up to 120,2kg.). The 'boss' even compared the scenario to a 'perfect script'.

“What you always want to do is train athletes, promote fights and have the best guys face each other. It doesn't get any better than that. You couldn't write, make a script. It’s beautiful,” White said.
Although he expressed his excitement for the heavyweight superfight, White still doesn't know when the eventual clash between the 'giants' will take place.
Current interim champion of the division, Gane made his third appearance of the season. In addition to beating Lewis and winning the belt, the Frenchman extended his unbeaten career to 10 victories.
Linear champion in the category up to 120,2kg. since March, Ngannou has yet to have the opportunity to defend his title. The French-Cameroonian assumed the throne of the group when he ran over Stipe Miocic No. UFC 260.
