What happened at UFC 270?
Former teammates Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane fought each other in the main event of UFC 270. The pay-per-view took place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on January 22. Much to the surprise of MMA fans around the world, Ngannou turned from being a dangerous knockout artist to a grappling expert on the night.
Ngannou effectively negated Gane's prolific striking game by taking him down on four occasions throughout the fight. The reigning heavyweight champion dominated 'Bon Gamin' on the ground, proving he isn't a one-trick pony. At the end of five rounds, 'The Predator' was announced the winner via a unanimous decision.
The co-main event of UFC 270 saw Brandon Moreno defend the flyweight title in a trilogy fight against Deiveson Figueiredo. Moreno was cheered on by his beloved Mexican fans on the night, who had traveled to the Honda Center in large numbers to rally 'The Assassin Baby'.
Although he showed championship heart in what turned out to be a back-and-forth thriller, Moreno fell short in the end and lost via a unanimous decision. Figueiredo looked more patient and precise with his striking this time around, managing to score as many as three knockdowns in the fight.
