“The reason I'm here is because I deserved it. I will do everything to win this fight. If I lose the match, I don't think it will take anything away from me as a man. Even if it's the end, I'd say I got there,” said the French-Cameroonian.

The main fight of UFC 270 has the necessary ingredients for a historic confrontation. On both sides, Ultimate offered the best in the up to 120,2kg category.

Linear champion since March, when he ran over Stipe Miocic, Ngannou has won five consecutive victories, all by knockout. The fighter has not lost since the stumble in front of Derrick LewisIn 2018.

Willing to assume the absolute throne of the group, Gane, owner of the entire title, arrives to make history and displace the feared Francis. The fighter will step into the octagon with a record of 10 MMA triumphs, without ever having felt the taste of defeat.
