Gane (11-1) is just one fight removed from challenging Francis Ngannou for the heavyweight title in January 2022. Ngannou has since fought out his contract and departed the UFC, necessitating this bout to fill the vacancy. Gane is No. 2 in the ESPN heavyweight rankings, behind only Ngannou.
The other title fight is the co-main event between women’s flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko (23-3) and challenger Alexa Grasso (15-3). Shevchenko, the UFC’s longest-reigning current champion with seven title defenses since winning the belt in 2018, is No. 2 in the ESPN pound-for-pound women’s rankings. Grasso is ranked seventh among flyweight women by ESPN.
The main card at T-Mobile Arena will be on ESPN+ pay-per-view starting at 10 p.m. ET, with prelims on ESPN News, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. and early prelims on ESPN+ at 6 p.m.
