Ciryl Gane thinks he has done enough to earn a shot at his former teammate, Francis Ngannou who currently holds the UFC heavyweight title.
‘The Predator’ is expected to make the first defence of the title he picked up by knocking out Stipe Miocic earlier this year in September against Derrick Lewis. Many fans are hoping Jon Jones will be next in line for a shot at heavyweight gold and the prospect of a trilogy fight between Ngannou and Miocic still looms large.
“I think we can wait,” Gane said. “This will give us time to improve in some department of myself. So I can wait, and I have a baby coming next month.”
During his rise to prominence, Gane shied away from talk of a potential fight with his former teammate, Ngannou. At the UFC Vegas 30 post-fight press conference, ‘Bon Gamin’ insisted he is now happy to square off against Ngannou for heavyweight gold.
“I’m comfortable with this matchup if this matchup is going to happen,” Gane said. “Now, for title, I’m really comfortable with this situation because we was born in the same gym. Before, it was a little bit (uncomfortable), you know? Now I’m comfortable. We’re going to fight for the belt. This is beautiful for us, for me, for him and my coach.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)
Gane has a perfect 9-0 record. Last night he picked up the biggest win of his career in fairly dominant fashion. Prior to that he scored victories over the likes of Junior dos Santos, Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Tanner Boser to secure his #3 ranking in the division.

#3 ranked UFC heavyweight contender remains undefeated in his professional career — taking home his second victory of the year, in the form of a one-sided unanimous decision triumph against top-five opponent, Alexander Volkov.

Frenchman, Gane takes the opening round just about with a 10-9 based on accuracy and activity — landing a whipping jab as well as a notable volley of leg kicks and body strikes. Volkov most certainly replying, however.
Another round in the books for Gane in the second, who is starting to put a pace on Volkov, as he attempts to counter with his lengthy lower limbs.
With a lot more urgency in the third round, Gane managed to draw some blood from the nose of Volkov who was largely a sitting duck in that frame. Gane’s jab and uppercuts finding their target. 30-27 heading into the fourth round.
Another round in the books for Gane and water firmly in the basement heading into the fifth. Volkov in need of a finish here in this potential heavyweight title-eliminator.
A really bad eye poke landed against Gane, leaving Volkov in need of some time to recover — with the Frenchman winning the round so far up until the unintentional foul. With the #5 ranked, Volkov able to continue following the foul, the fight goes the distance, with Gane taking home a unanimous decision victory.
