Confident of a great performance in this weekend's main fight, Francis compared Gane's resistance to that of his last opponent, Stipe Miocic. For the French-Cameroonian, the interim champion does not have the same absorption capacity as the division veteran.

“He’s not tough like Stipe. I know he (Gane) is very good, but he can't handle so much pressure”, he concluded.

Protagonists of UFC 270, Francis and Ciryl were once training partners. On Saturday, the athletes will duel for the absolute top spot in the heavyweight division.
