Francis Ngannou says the footage of him and Ciryl Gane sparring that was released earlier this year was edited with a specific goal in mind.
According to Ngannou, the clips don’t accurate depict what happened during the session, which occurred in January 2019. Ngannou and Gane will meet in a heavyweight title unification bout at UFC 270 at the Honda Center in Anaheim on Jan.
