There is no dispute in the heavyweight division any longer. Ngannou wins via unanimous decision with scores of 48-47, 48-47 and 49-46 to retain his heavyweight championship.
Francis Ngannou has been renowned throughout the combat sports world for his frightening punching power used takedowns and superior grappling to defeat Gane in the main event of UFC 270 Saturday at the Honda Center in their battle for the undisputed heavyweight title.
Ngannou won by scores of 48-47 twice and 49-46. for Ngannou. The fight was billed as a battle of the sport’s best big men, both of whom were big punchers.
UFC President Dana White said Ngannou was the most frightening puncher in UFC history and that Gane was the best heavyweight striker in the promotion’s history.
Gane had his way for the most part in the first two rounds, staying on the outside as predicted and using his athleticism to defuse Ngannou’s power. But Ngannou took Gane down three times in the third and it changed the fight completely.
Ngannou got top control and used it to his advantage. He swept the final three rounds on all three judges’ cards and didn’t land one massive power shot.
