The UFC heavyweight title is expected to be unified at the first pay-per-view event of 2022. Reigning heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou (16-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) will meet interim champ Ciryl Gane (10-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) on Jan. 22 at UFC 270, which doesn’t have a known venue or location at this time. Two people with knowledge of the matchup confirmed to MMA Junkie that the booking is close to finalized but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. French media outlet La Sueur was first to report the news.
