Ciryl Gane on former teammate Francis Ngannou: ‘We cannot avoid that fight’

Ciryl Gane is not shying away from tough tests in the heavyweight division of the UFC and his first comes this Saturday at UFC 256 against former champion Junior Dos Santos. Gane, who is currently undefeated with an overall record of 6-0, understands just how important a win is in this fight against Dos Santos because of what it will do for his ranking and career going forward.

Not only would a win over a top-ranked opponent like Dos Santos give a significant boost to the standing of Gane, but it will also set up fights against others who are pursuing the heavyweight championship.
