Background and Fight Card
The main event is a heavyweight title unification bout between UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou (16-3) and undefeated interim champion Ciryl Gane (10-0). This will be Ngannou’s first title defense, though Ngannou has won 15 of his last 17 fights and overall has 11 first-round finishes. Gane captured the interim title with a TKO win over UFC vet Derrick Lewis in August. Currently, Ngannou is the underdog according to DraftKings Sportsbook, coming in at +125 moneyline odds. Gane enters as the -145 favorite.
The co-main event features a highly anticipated rematch and trilogy fight between the current UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno (19-5) and the man he defeated to win the title, Deiveson Figueiredo (20-2). Initially featured on The Ultimate Fighter season 24, Moreno is the first native of Mexico to hold a UFC title.
Also featured on the card is Said Nurmagomedov, cousin of former UFC Lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov. Here’s the full card:
