Francis Ngannou vs Ciryl Gane at UFC 270
Former UFC interim-heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane is as grateful for huge moments as any calm and composed person should be, even if it means ending up with unfavourable results. Gane, had the biggest fight of his career back at UFC 270 when he fought his former teammate and undisputed UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a title unification match, but unfortunately came up short and lost to the latter via unanimous decision, also having the first loss of his professional career.
Gane was initially doing well against Ngannou in the standup for the first two rounds, until the power puncher, Ngannou turned into this unpredictable yet impressive wrestler that started dominating Gane from the top position whilst securing multiple takedowns for the remaining 3 rounds. Irrespective of this loss, there’s no denying how talented Gane is, for, within just 3 and a half years of experience, he became the UFC interim-heavyweight champion by winning on his way over the likes of Derrick Lewis, Junior Dos Santos, Alexander Volkov and many more.
