#1 Ciryl Gane is going to be the first man to lead an event in his home country. UFC is coming to France for the first time since the sport became legal in 2020. Ciryl Gane is well polished and can do things men his size have no chance of doing. A kickboxer with a record of 13-0 and a muay thai fighter who won the AFMT National 201 lb title we all knew Gane was special. He also won the TKO major league world title before coming into UFC undefeated. Only beaten in his last fight by the incredible Francis Ngannou, Gane still has tons of potential at 32.
Tai Tuivasa lands bombs and afterwards parties. He’s young and able to make the heavyweight limit. He comes into his fights at around 264 lbs and going into this match he is the bigger man. Gane is about 15-17 lbs lighter but is a bit taller and will have a 3 inch height advantage as well as a large reach advantage. Gane also has a speed advantage and overall is the better striker.
Who are you picking to win this war, Ciryl Gane vs Tai Tuivasa?
Can Tai Tuivasa hang with the best fighter he’s ever faced and a man who has yet to be knocked out? Can Tuivasa land the right shot early and send Gane to the mat or will Gane outclass Bam Bam and make it his type of fight?
