Ngannou, the current champion, is the underdog in the fight despite a five-fight win streak that have all ended via some form of knockout. His last fight was a rematch against Stipic Miocic, beating him for the title. With a new UFC contract to think about and boxing also on his mind, Ngannou has a lot on the line.
Gane, the interim champion, is looking to go 8-0 in the UFC and improve his impressive run by becoming the undisputed champion.
Regardless of which man leaves Anaheim as heavyweight champion, they will both look to walk away with some big checks. Here’s how much the two fighters are set to earn on Saturday.
