Cyryl Gane wants to shock the world. After winning Derrick Lewis No. UFC 265, the Frenchman won the interim belt and now faces the linear champion Francis Ngannou, in edition No. 270, which takes place on January 22, 2022. When asked about the subject, he states that he wants to manage the fight with the aim of inhibiting his opponent's knockout power.

"He (Francis Ngannou) is very complete now, but he knows that I can control the strength and his (knockout) power. So maybe he should be smarter in the fight. I think it will be like my fight against Jairzinho (Rozenstruik). I will manage the fight and win after five rounds”, said Gane in an interview with 'MMA fighting'.
Despite highlighting his focus on Ngannou, Gane is already projecting the future with the linear Ultimate title. The Frenchman even highlighted that he wants to face Jon Jones – preparing his move up to the heavyweight division (up to 120,2kg) of Ultimate.
“He wants to go to this category and prove he can do it. A fight against him would be very good for me, because we are complete and we fight intelligently. Maybe it will be a great confrontation and it will probably be great for my pocket”, he joked.
French promise in MMA, Gane won the UFC belt in August this year, by overcoming Derrick Lewis with a knockout in the third round. Professional since 2018, the Frenchman has a 'perfect record' with ten wins in ten fights.
