LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC 270: Ngannou vs. Gane results throughout the night (Sat. January 22. 2022) live from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Headlining a championship doubleheader: a heavyweight title unification bout between champion, Francis Ngannou, and interim champion, Ciryl Gane.
Batie, Cameroon native, Ngannou enters the main event slot off the back of his undisputed championship victory against former two-time belt holder, Stipe Miocic at UFC 260 back in March — whom he finished with a brutal second round knockout.
For Gane, the undefeated Frenchman improved to 10-0 last time out in August — headlining UFC 265 against common-foe, Derrick Lewis, where he won the interim heavyweight title courtesy of a one-sided third round ground strikes stoppage win.
Taking co-headlining honors: a flyweight championship trilogy bout between reigning undisputed best, Brandon Moreno, and the former undisputed titleholder, Deiveson Figueiredo.
The pair initially met in the main event of UFC 256 in December 2020, battling to an eventual majority draw over the course of five rounds.
In June, co-headlining, UFC 263, Moreno minted himself as the undisputed champion with a rather comfortable third round rear-naked choke win over then-defending gold holder, Figueiredo.
