Ciryl Gane fought Sergey Spivak in the main event of UFC Paris. Heading into the bout, it had a typical striker vs. grappler storyline. Spivak is known for his wrestling takedowns, whereas Gane has the pedigree for the best striking in the heavyweight division. However, as the fight progressed in France, Gane once again proved his reputation as one of the most dangerous fighters in the heavyweight division. He defeated Spivak via TKO in the second round.

Ciryl Gane went on the offensive with his swift striking and footwork as soon as the fight started. On the other hand, Sergey Spivak did not attack Gane with takedown attempts. He stood and tried to bang it out with the French fighter. However, it became a recipe for disaster. Gane outstruck him on the feet and attained the win in less than ten minutes.

The one takedown attempt from Spivak came in the first round. However, Ciryl Gane perfectly defended it. After getting exploited by Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou in his previous title fights, Gane showed his extensive work on wrestling defense. Gane also admitted this in the post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. With excellent takedown defense, Gane could threaten anyone in the division.

He also revealed his intention to win the undisputed title. In the past, he came close to winning the title twice. Jon Jones will defend his title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295. He must wait it out for now, as Jones could retire at UFC 295. If so, he could fight for the undisputed belt again or be just one win away from another title fight.
