UFC 270 was the first pay-per-view event of 2022 and featured two title fights. Former teammates Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane clashed in a highly anticipated title unifier for the main event.

Ngannou had racked up four first-round KO wins since 2018, earning himself a second title shot against Stipe Miocic at UFC 260. 'The Predator' dethroned Miocic via second round knockout to become the heavyweight king.

Meanwhile, Ciryl Gane switched to MMA in 2018 after building a highly decorated kickboxing resume. Going into his matchup against Ngannou, 'Bon Gamin' held an undefeated 10-0 record.

The co-main event of the night featured a highly anticipated trilogy bout between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo with the flyweight title on the line. Moreno and Figueiredo fought to a majority draw in their first encounter at UFC 256 in December 2020. 'The Assassin Baby' dispatched Figueiredo via third-round submission in the rematch at UFC 263 to be crowned the champion.
