We are just hours away from UFC 270 later tonight (Sat., Jan. 22, 2022) live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., and the final episode of “Embedded” has been released.
Tonight’s first PPV action of 2022 is expected to deliver from start to finish, but the main attraction of the night will be a grudge match between UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and interim titleholder Ciryl Gane. Both fighters used to train under the same gym in France and have a history entering this fight. Ngannou is a world-renowned knockout artist while Gane uses footwork, precision, and volume to break down his opponents. It’s a match made in heaven and one of the more important heavyweight fights in recent memory.

OCTAGON RETURNS TO THE GREAT WHITE NORTH! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Canada for the first time in almost four years when it hosts UFC 289 inside Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sat., June 10, 2023. In UFC 289’s pay-per-view (PPV) main event, women’s Bantamweight champion, Amanda Nunes, will lock horns with No. 5-ranked 135-pound contender, Irene Aldana, while former Lightweight kingpin and current No. 1-seeded contender, Charles Oliveira, battles No. 4-ranked Beneil Dariush in the co-feature with 155-pound title implications on the line.
Adding to the mix will be a flyweight trilogy fight pitting current UFC champion Brandon Moreno against former titleholder Deiveson Figueiredo. The two flyweights will collide in the co-main event after fighting twice over the past 13 months. Moreno had the last laugh with a submission victory over Figueiredo at UFC 263, but Figueiredo has a chance to win back his belt later tonight at UFC 270 and prove he’s the better fighter.
