UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou posted a video in which he announced before the fight of Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane that only the second top contender for his belt will be determined in this meeting.

“It will be a great fight no matter what and I think we will enjoy watching it. However, the real king is me. They will just fight for the contender status. Even for the place of contender number two, because Miocic is the main contender,” said Ngannou.

Gane knocked out Lewis in the third round and won the interim champion belt. After the fight Ngannou congratulated his former teammate and called him a legitimate challenger.
