UFC 270 Preview
Two of the top heavyweights in the world are set to clash at UFC 270, with Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane meeting up for the title.
Ngannou is at a crossroads in his career, with Saturday’s scrap being the final fight on his UFC contract. He has said he’s no longer willing to fight for $500,000 and wants a boxing crossover as part of his new deal.
“Honestly, at this point, I don’t really know,” Ngannou said of his future. “Before Stipe fight, they were talking about this Jon Jones fight. The UFC even say officially, like, the winner is fighting Jon Jones. And suddenly, after I won the fight, that didn’t come out at all.
“I’m not here to chase ghosts. I’m chasing what is real, what is possible. But at this point, I don’t know what is the stage of my situation with the UFC. So we’re gonna see how this plays out and see what is on the table. Then we can deal with what is on the table. As of now, I can’t allow myself to speculate about anything.”
As for his fight on Saturday, Ngannou believes he can end it within the first two rounds.
“The knockout doesn’t come when I search it, so I won’t be searching for the knockout, but I don’t see how we will end this fight without me knocking him out, maybe under 2 rounds,” Ngannou told TMZ.
The other title fight will be at flyweight and is the third meeting between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo. The first fight ended in a draw and Moreno won the last bout in the first round by rear-naked choke in the third round.
