The UFC showcases ‘The hardest recorded puncher in the world”, Francis N’Gannou, fighting for the Undisputed UFC Heavyweight title, his first bout since defeating Stipe Miocic at UFC 260. The Frenchman is currently ranked #4 in the men’s overall pound-for-pound rankings at this time. He is squared up against fellow Frenchman, UFC Interim Heavyweight Champ, Ciryl Gane, who is currently sitting at #15 in those rankings.
Meanwhile, the co-main event features our second title fight battle today, as UFC Flyweight Champion Brandon Moreno puts his Crown as the first-ever Mexican-born fighter to win a UFC Championship on the line against top challenger, former Champion, Deiveson Figueiredo, in their trilogy bout. Moreno is currently ranked #10 in the men’s pound-for-pound rankings, while Figueiredo hasn’t hit that list he has secured the #1 slot in their division, just under the champ.
Also on the card, we have a highly-anticipated Welterweight match between Michel ‘Demolidor’ Pereira and Andre Fialho. As well as an exciting matchup between Bantamweights, Cody ‘Spartan’ Stamann and Said Nurmagomedov, not to mention a Welterweight scrap in our main card opener between Michael Morales and Trevin ‘The Problem’ Giles.
Plus, a promising showdown in our featured prelim including Bantamweights Raoni Barcelos vs. Victor ‘La Mangosta’ Henry… which is expected not to disappoint, as part of our six-bout undercard. What a wild Saturday full of fights we have to share with you!
