UFC FIGHT NIGHT: Rozenstruik vs. Gane is set for this Saturday, February 27, live from UFC APEX in Las Vegas. All fights will be carried exclusively on ESPN+ in English and Spanish with the main card beginning at 8 p.m. ET and prelims starting at 5 p.m. ET.
The march towards a shot at the heavyweight title continues to heat up as No. 4-ranked Jairzinho Rozenstruik and No. 7-ranked Ciryl Gane meet in a five-round main event at UFC Fight Night. Unbeaten as a professional, French sensation Gane has won four of those bouts in the Octagon, finishing three of his opponents before the final horn. However, Suriname’s Rozenstruik is a feared striker who has scored all five of his UFC victories by knockout with a near-perfect record, including victories over former UFC heavyweight champions Andrei Arlovski and Junior Dos Santos. His lone defeat was to the division’s current No. 1-ranked contender Francis Ngannou, who gets his shot at the title later next month at UFC 260.
