Only one man can call himself the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion. Inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on January 22, Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane will finally square off to prove who is the leader in the heavyweight division at UFC 270.
Ngannou has won five fights in a row by knockout, his last fight against Stipe Miocic for the title. Gane won three fights in 2021, including a spectacular performance against Derrick Lewis. He will be looking to do the same against his old sparring partner in Ngannou.
Also on the card will be a trilogy fight featuring UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo. Moreno will be looking to go 2-0-1 against Figueiredo, while the latter wants to win back the title he lost at UFC 263.
