UFC 270
N’Gannou
VS
Gane
Sunday 23rd January
Prelims
Tony Gravley VS Saimon Oliveira
Tony Gravley Double Chance, Sub, KO/TKO - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 2.7, Best Book - Pointsbet
We have a UFC debutant coming in against veteran Tony Gravley. Gravley was very unlucky in his last fight, after almost knocking Nate Maness out before being saved by the bell, Gravley was put down in the second. Gravley has a point to prove in this fight up against a fighter who looks mismatched in this spot.
Pete Rodriguez VS Jack Della Maddalena
Jack Maddalena by KO/TKO - Stake 2 Units, Minimum Odds 1.8, Best Book - Topsport
We saw great things from Maddalena on the Contender Series and he looks like a future star. Rodriguez has 4 professional fights to his name so is a slight wildcard in this spot but we have to go with the potential we have seen from the Aussie.
Raoni Barcelos VS Victor Henry
Raoni Barcelos by Decision - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 2.7, Best Book - UNIBET
Raoni Barcelos came to the game late and that will likely be the only reason he doesn’t end up becoming a champion. Henry has a tonne of experience for someone making his UFC debut and has never been finished in 26 professional fights.

Trevin Giles VS Michael Morales
Trevin Giles Win - Stake 2 Units, Minimum Odds 1.85, Best Book - Topsport
Trevin Giles is a slight wildcard fighter who can mix it with the best but does fall to low fight IQ from time to time. Morales is an undefeated debutant who is looking to keep his streak going. Were on Giles here who is moving down a weight class and has shown more strength in the ring.
Michel Pereira VS Andre Fialho
Michel Pereira by Decision - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 3.0, Best Book - Topsport
Michel Pereira is closer to a circus clown than he is a UFC fighter, however, he has some serious finesse and power. Pereira will be doing backflips, superman punches and will be seeking the highlight-reel knockout for the first 3 minutes of the fight. When the highlight finish doesn’t come early, Pereira will try to conserve his gas tank as best as possible and get to the scorecards. Pereira has shown vulnerabilities in the 3rd round before but he should have done enough by then to get his hand raised.
Brandon Moreno VS Deiveson Figueiredo
Moreno/Figueiredo to go the Distance - Stake 2 Units, Minimum Odds 2.2, Best Book - Lads/Neds
We get a massive 3rd fight for the Flyweight title between these 2 big rivals. Moreno got his hand raised last time with Figueiredo looking terrible from the scales to the end of the fight. This time Figueiredo looks in incredible form and has been working on his grappling with one of the best in the business. This looks to be a true 50-50 fight but we do believe it will be a 5 round thriller. To save us from a bad scorecard we have taken our most likely outcome for this fight.
Francis N’Gannou VS Ciryl Gane
Ciryl Gane By Decision - Stake 1.5 Units, Minimum Odds 3.4, Best Book - Sportsbet
Ciryl Gane has shown some incredible skills over the last year and has had a meteoric rise. Gane deserves this title shot and will redefine the weight class when he does become champion. N’Gannou has been out of the octagon for almost a full year and has been doing anything but training during this time. N’Gannou has been filming Fast and the Furious, Jackass, staring in multiple commercials, arguing with the UFC over fighter pay, travelling around the world, and trying to get a fight with Tyson Fury. Now all this being said N’Gannou does have a punchers chance but Gane’s head is in the right place for this fight.
