Francis Ngannou on Ciryl Gane downplaying his power: He will be fighting to survive at UFC 270

Francis Ngannou is unimpressed by Ciryl Gane downplaying his KO power ahead of their heavyweight title unification bout at UFC 270, with ‘The Predator’ claiming ‘Bon Gamin’ will have no choice but to fight to survive on Jan. 22.

“That’s probably his prediction because he has nowhere else to go,” Ngannou said of Gane during a recent interview with MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn (h/t MMA News). “He has nothing else to do. Instead of expecting to jump around and waiting for the decision, I’m sure he’s going to be like, ‘I’m going to take him to the long rounds, the deep water’ and all this.
