The co-main event of Saturday’s action is on the fight between Derrick Lewis and Cyril Gane. Lewis is a significant underdog, but this is an intriguing card up and down that gives bettors many different ways to win.

Caesars Sportsbook’s $5,000 First Bet

 

If you’re looking for the most potential upside from your sportsbook promo ahead of UFC 265, then it’s absolutely at Caesars Sportsbook.
