Tonight’s UFC Freedom 250 event is co-headlined by an interim heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira.

Gane (14-2 MMA) will be competing for the first time since his no-contest with reigning heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall last October at UFC 321. Prior to that controversial bout, the Frenchman had earned victories over Alexander Volkov and Serghei Spivac.

Meanwhile, Alex Pereira (13-4 MMA) most previously competed at UFC 320, where he scored a first-round TKO victory over Magomed Ankalaev to reclaim the promotion‘s light heavyweight title. ‘Poatan’ has gone 4-1 over his past five fights overall.
