“This is a big opportunity because, for me, I think it’s the biggest challenge I have of my career, Volkov, for me, is one of the best of the division. The more the challenge is big, the more I’m excited about that. Because I’m new to MMA.”

“I want to prove because I really don’t know myself. I want a challenge, and maybe this fight is going to prove a new version of myself, and maybe I’m going to show something new.” {H/T MMA Junkie}

Ciryl Gane right now holds the number 3 ranking in the UFC Heavyweight division and with a win against Alexander Volkov, he will be right into the title mix. Right now the Heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou is being booked to face Derrick Lewis for his first title defense.

The winner of this match is further targeted to face Stipe Miocic or Jon Jones. But Gane believes a win in this fight will increase his credibility also for the title shot. He added, “I’m comfortable, I don’t know why I’m not the guy who doesn’t stress. I don’t know why. I’m good with that. I’m good.”

“Every fight I did, I want to make a show for the fans, If I can finish the fight before the end with a KO, with a submission like I did (before), yes, I want to do that for the fans. I want to make sure.”
