Ciryl Gane confident of landing title fight with Tom Aspinall in UFC return: ‘We’re waiting for a location and date’

Former interim heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane has claimed his management are currently locked in talks with UFC brass about an title fight return against newly-minted undisputd gold holder, Tom Aspinall, remaining confident of fighting the Brit in his return.

Gane, who has been on a collision course with Aspinall since the Atherton native’s move to the Octagon back in 2020, has been sidelined since his rematch with common-foe, Alexander Volkov back in December.

And landing his second career win over the perennial contender at UFC 310, Gane did so in some rather controversial circumstances, landing a split decision win over the Russian, in a judging much-criticized by pundits and CEO, Dana White.
