And linked with a comeback at a third UFC Paris event in September later this annum, former interim gold holder, Ciryl Gane has also found himself linked with a potential July return in Manchester, atop UFC 304 in a title fight against Atherton native, Aspinall.

However, despite links to a comeback fight against the British fan-favorite, reports have suggested Gane has already vetoed the idea of fighting on the Manchester card at the end of July, due to filming obligations as part of his role in an upcoming film.
