What time is UFC 270 today? PPV schedule, main card start time for Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl Gane

Only one man can call themselves the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion. Inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on January 22, Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane will finally meet to prove who is the top dog in the heavyweight division at UFC 270. 

Ngannou has won five fights in a row via knockout, his last fight against Stipe Miocic for the title. Gane won three fights in 2021, including a show-stopping performance against Derrick Lewis. He will look to do the same against his former sparring partner in Ngannou.

Also on the card will be a trilogy fight featuring UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo. Moreno will be looking to go 2-0-1 against Figueiredo, while the latter wants to reclaim the title he lost back at UFC 263.
