UFC 270 Weigh-in Results: Title Fights Set; Gane 10 Pounds Lighter Than Ngannou


The Ultimate Fighting Championship's first pay-per-view of 2022 is set with two title fights after the official UFC 270 weigh-ins took place.

Headlining the card is a heavyweight unification bout between champion Francis Ngannou and interim titleholder Ciryl Gane. The co-main event will see flyweight king Brandon Moreno face Deiveson Figueiredo for a third time. While all four fighters in the championship bouts made weight, two undercard bouts were canceled as Ilia Topuria was pulled from his featherweight bout against Charles Jourdain due to issues with his weight cut, and middleweight Rodolfo Vieira was pulled from his fight against Wellington Turman due to medical reasons.

This is the first bout for Ngannou (16-3) since claiming the title from Stipe Miocic last year. "The Predator" finished Miocic just 52 seconds into the second round of their rematch, and comes into this battle on a five-fight knockout streak. Ngannou officially weighed 257 pounds, six pounds lighter than his last appearance.

The UFC 270 headliner spot for Gane is the the biggest fight in his young career, and very likely the French fighter's biggest test. Undefeated through 10 bouts, "Bon Gamin" has been perfect inside the Octagon, having finished Derrick Lewis in his last outing to claim the interim belt. Gane stepped on the scale at 247 pounds, which is 10 pounds lighter than his opponent.

The co-main event will be the trilogy match between Moreno (19-5-2) and Figueiredo (20-2-1). Their first bout in 2020 led to a majority draw, while Moreno decisively finished their second meeting by locking in a rear-naked choke to take the belt from "Daico." Both men weighed 124 pounds on the dot.

The UFC 270 main card will air on ESPN+ pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Prelims begin on ESPN+ and UFC Fight Pass at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT and then transfer to ESPN and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
