After suffering his first career defeat at UFC 270, which took place in January, the French Cyryl Gane admitted that he has already overcome the setback for Francis Ngannou. In an interview with MMA fighting, the former interim champion revealed that he is interested in facing the Cameroonian again but believes that the rematch should not come to fruition.

“I'm already fine with the situation. I have that in mind, I may never fight (Francis) Ngannou again, because I had a very good fight and, for me, I lost, but not by much. It was just a small mistake. For me, I was better at striking, on the ground, I was better. I know it's a little strange to say this, but I was better at wrestling too if you compare the technique. The takedown he got and my takedown were a little different. That's why I'm okay if I never fight Ngannou again. I am fine. I know I can compare with him and I know I'm good, that I'm a good fighter,” said Gane.
In Ultimate since 2019, Gane beat seven opponents in a row, won the interim belt in the 120,2kg division and was only stopped in the unification of the titles. Before Francis Ngannou, UFC 270, the 'Bom Garoto' lost his unbeaten record in professional MMA after four years of his career.
