It's been a long absence for Ngannou, who has only fought twice since June 2019. He will need to be at his best to fend off the challenge from Ciryl Gane.
Gane boasts a 10-0 perfect professional record so far in his career, and won the interim UFC Heavyweight Championship in August 2021 amid Ngannou's low-key last couple of years.
Champions versus interim champion fights always boast potential for massive drama and the match-up at UFC 270 appears to be no different.
