Gane has never tasted defeat inside the octagon and has won all of his fights quite convincingly. Gane has shown everything in these fights, he has done five rounds, won by knockouts and submission, the only thing Gane is yet to face inside the octagon in the adversity. None of Gane’s opponents has had any kind of success against him be it standing, in the clinch, or on the mat. Gane moves his feet really well and has been able to neutralize all the attacks from his opponents.

Ciryl Gane has 7 fights in the UFC. Fought in 22 rounds in the UFC. In that time has only lost one round on one judges scorecard.#UFC270

Gane has 10 fights in MMA as a pro and seven of them are in the UFC. He entered the UFC with only three fights in MMA but looked apart from the pack in his very first fight. Gane, primarily a Muay Thai fighter, won his first two fights in the UFC by submission. Gane has the cardio, fight IQ, speed on his side but the biggest factor Ngannou has on his side is power. Ngannou’s only way to win this fight is by knockout and when this is the case the betting odds are generally against you.

“Good luck my man”, Ciryl Gane has nothing mean to say to Francis Ngannou

Gane and Ngannou used to train together. They were never friends but had a healthy relationship. Since Ngannou’s move to Vegas, he’s had issues with his former coach Fernard Lopez, who has said some nasty thing about his former student. This fight is painted as a grudge match, but the grudge is not between the two fighters competing inside the octagon.

Gane when asked if he would shake hands with Ngannou after the fight at UFC 270 said, “Before, after, during”, when pointed that he may be punching him during the fight, Gane said, “Of course, but understand exactly my feelings that I got no deal with him. it’s just like my former, another opponent and that’s it.”

When asked if he has any message for his opponent, Gane said, “Good luck my man, good luck, do your best because I’m gonna do my best”
