Dana White: UFC working on Junior dos Santos vs. Ciryl Gane
Junior dos Santos’ next challenge could be one of the heavyweight division’s hottest prospects.
On Thursday, UFC President Dana White told the media at a scrum in Abu Dhabi that officials are working on a bout between Dos Santos (21-8) and the undefeated Ciryl Gane (6-0).
Sources with knowledge of the potential matchup told MMA Fighting that Gane is aiming to fight dos Santos in December.
Dos Santos, 36, most recently fought at UFC 252 where he lost to Jairzinho Rozenstruik to extend a career-worst losing streak to three. The former UFC heavyweight champion has been finished with strikes in all of his losses during this slump, failing to make it past the second round on each occasion.
