The Octagon returns to Anaheim on January 22 for UFC 270, a fifteen-bout fight card headlined by Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl Gane.<\/p>\n

The former training partners, Ngannou (16-3 MMA) and Gane (10-0 MMA), will meet in a highly anticipated heavyweight title unification bout.<\/p>\n

Francis Ngannou most recently competed back at March\u2019s UFC 260 event, where he scored a second round knockout of Stipe Miocic to become the promotions<\/a> heavyweight world champion.<\/p>\n

However, due to \u2018The Predator\u2019s\u2019 recent inactivity, Dana White and company decided to create a interim heavyweight title, which was claimed by Ciryl Gane following his win over Derrick Lewis at UFC 265 in August.<\/p>\n

Whoever emerges victorious between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 will have the honor of calling themselves \u201cthe undisputed baddest man on the planet\u201d.<\/p>\n

January\u2019s pay-per-view event is co-headlined by a trilogy bout between reigning UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and former title holder Deiveson Figueiredo.<\/p>\n

Moreno (19-5-2 MMA) and Figueiredo (20-2-1MMA) most recently collided at UFC 263, with the Mexican standout dethroning the Brazilian by way of submission. That rematch was preceded by a majority draw at UFC 256.<\/p>\n

Also featured on the UFC 270 main card will be \u00a0a key middleweight bout between perennial division contenders Derek Brunson<\/a>\u00a0and Jared Cannonier.<\/p>\n

In addition, the pay-per-view portion of the event will feature a heavyweight contest between Greg Hardy and Aleksei Oleinik, as well as a battle of undefeated featherweights in Movsar Evloev and Ilia Topuria.<\/p>\n
