What they said

Francis Ngannou: “The reason why I’m here is because I earned it. Nobody has given me anything. 

“I want to win this fight, but if I lost, it’s fine. I don’t think that takes anything out of me as a man. I have done a lot as a man.

“Even if this was the end, well, I’ll say I did it. Not many people in their lifetime, even those who have better opportunities than I, can tell the same story as me. I’m happy where I am.”

Ciryl Gane: “I think my advantage against Francis will be the footwork.

“In this division, I have the best footwork and I’m more well-rounded, also. I have more skills than him.

“For this fight, I don’t know what’s going to happen exactly, but at the end of the fight, you’re going to see my hand raised.”
