There were questions about whether Gane was ready for the biggest opportunity of his life and this was a clear test for him, and to nobody’s surprise, he passed it with flying colors.
Gane said that he will have to wait before coming back in the octagon again, “I think we can wait. This will give us time to improve in some department of myself. So I can wait, and I have a baby coming next month.”
“Now I’m comfortable. We’re going to fight for the belt,” says Ciryl Gane
During his rise through the rankings, Gane wasn’t so keen on facing his former teammate Ngannou, but now that he is the champion he thinks the stars have aligned perfectly, and now he is ready for him.
“I’m comfortable with this matchup if this matchup is going to happen,” Gane said. “Now, for title, I’m really comfortable with this situation because we was born in the same gym. Before, it was a little bit (uncomfortable), you know? Now I’m comfortable. We’re going to fight for the belt. This is beautiful for us, for me, for him and my coach.”
