Things between former teammates Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane just got a bit more complicated. While appearing in front of the media for his UFC 270 media day appearance, Ngannou said he knocked out Gane in training, in the past. When asked about recently leaked sparring footage showing Gane getting the better of the heavyweight champion, Ngannou said It wasnt sparring footage. It was a clip of the sparring footage. Because the footage doesnt look that good. Yes, I knocked him out, Ngannou said. (It was) a high kick, left high kick. That knockout wasnt a voluntary knockout. It was in sparring. It was an accident. I didnt intend to knock him out. I didnt go there to knock him out. Personally, its not something that I feel proud of. I dont walk around and feel all tough because I knocked my sparring partner out or down or whatever. Usually stuff like that happens in ...

A trilogy isnt unique on its own where MMA is concerned. Weve seen them many times. But what makes Brandon Moreno vs. Deiveson Figueiredo 3 special is that it happened three fights back-to-back, and thats something thats not lost on Moreno. This moment definitely is special, Moreno said during Wednesdays UFC 270 media day in Anaheim, CA. This trilogy is helping so much with my legacy. This is the first time in the history of the UFC - weve seen other trilogies before - but not in a row. One, two and three in the same time. Maybe the people can think different, but I feel a lot of respect for Figueiredo what we are doing together. I want to win, definitely, and dont feel the respect for a lot of guys on his team, but for him I feel so much respect. I just want to fight this Saturday, keep the fight with me and be ready for the next one. But definitely this part of my life...
