Browsing: Ciryl Gane

The former UFC heavyweight champ is as baffled by his exclusion from the heavyweight title conversation as the rest of us, but he remains dedicated to a rematch with Francis Ngannou.

Ciryl Gane is not jealous of Francis Ngannou in the slightest. For Gane, Ngannou is just another opponent.

Ngannou opened up in a recent interview about the heavyweight championship and his fractured relationship with the UFC.

Francis Ngannou quickly dismissed the interim title fight, pointing out Stipe Miocic’s #1 contender spot.

Gane remains undefeated in MMA, and Dana White is full of praise for the freshly crowned interim champ.

UFC President Dana Whiteconfirmed that Stipe Miocic has accepted a fight against former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, but Jones still has a long way to go before he hits 265lbs.

Daniel Cormier sees Jon Jones as the only serious threat to Ciryl Gane at 265 pounds.

Gane and Ngannou were once training partners at Paris’ MMA Factory, and Ciryl hopes to fight Ngannou for the title in his home town.

Stipe Miocic isn’t a big enough fight for Jon Jones, at least according to Jones’ coach.

Some are calling the upcoming Gane v Ngannou title unification fight a grudge match, but the man at the heart of the issue says otherwise.
