Responsible for the knockout that may have sealed the passage of junior gypsy by Ultimate, last Saturday (12), Cyryl Gane proved that he is ready to face the best in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2kg). Undefeated in his MMA career, there is a specific opponent that the athlete would not like to face in the Octagon, unless it is truly unavoidable: Francis Ngannou. At the press conference after the UFC 256, the athlete explained the reason, which is not fear.

“I think that, if the UFC does this (a fight against Ngannou), please do it for the belt. And that. Do you understand. We are from the same gym (MMA Factory) and we have the same coach,” said Gane.
Without fighting since May, Francis is currently number one in the rankings and considered the favorite to face Stipe Miocic by the group title. Recently, the French-Cameroonian once again made public his dissatisfaction with the lack of title fights in the category.
Getting closer to his teammate with each round, Gane is considered one of the group's great promises. After beating Cigano, the Frenchman, who will reach the top 10, chose not to challenge a name for his next commitment. Adopting the speech of 'UFC employee', the Frenchman chose to leave his future in the hands of the organization's management.
“You understand who I am. I face anyone, any time. I just want to do my job. That’s it,” she finished.
In his biggest challenge with UFC gloves to date, Gane encountered few difficulties against the former division champion. In the clash that opened the main card, the Frenchman needed two rounds to settle the score against the Brazilian, with a knockout.
The triumph over Júnior further confirmed the bad phase of the Santa Catarina native, who, with his fourth consecutive defeat, is at serious risk of being released by the company. The information was released by the president of Ultimate, Dana White.
