Later in an interview with BT Sports UFC, Ciryl Gane revealed how he initially played football and basketball and then changed it to Muay Thai. “I did nothing really in professional in soccer and basketball…that’s why I switch in with the Muay Thai and after few training, the trainer told me ‘ my man I think you can do something really great’,” said Gane. Gane is a proper athlete and it’s so rare to see someone of his size playing basketball and dunking that well.

Gane will be facing arguably one of the best fighters in MMA history, Jon Jones at UFC 285. Ahead of the fight, many fans are considering this heavyweight bout to be extremely technical as both fighters are known for their incredible fighting skill. 

However, the fighter isn’t that satisfied with his training method. In a recent interview with La Sueur, The Frenchman revealed that he’s lazy when it comes to his training. Gane mentioned that he barely trains for grappling during his training camp.

He said: “If I look back at my career, this is a regret. I love grappling but unfortunately, I’m lazy, that’s the truth. I only train when a fight is announced. I have a lot of media obligations. Professional opportunities outside of the sport. You can’t say no to all these things. I also have to give time to my family, and rest well.”

Gane has a reputation for being a heavyweight fighter who moves like a middleweight. On top of it, he is highly skilled and doesn’t rely on brute force to finish his opponents. It will be interesting to see how Jones will approach this fight against Gane.
