Without Ngannou and Nunes this fight card has really fallen apart. I enjoy Lewis fighting as much as anyone outside of Poirier these days, but I'm not shelling out money for Gane.
Anik asks Gane what it will be like to face the undisputed champion. I don't think the UFC even know what undisputed means anymore. Gane himeself is the one who can dispute Ngannou's championship! The UFC themselves issued two championships!

Lewis was fully outclassed last night. Gane can beat Ngannou with this strategy to become the latest unpopular champion.
