Report: Ciryl Gane vs. Tai Tuivasa targeted for UFC Paris main event

After years of being stifled by the French Judo Federation, cage-fighting advocates finally secured victory in 2020 when France legalized the sport of mixed-martial-arts. Thanks to COVID-19, the UFC has been forced to delay their debut in the nation. However, now the promotion has reportedly scheduled a card in Paris for September 3rd.

And, according to both Ariel Helwani and Al Zulino, the headline bout for that proposed card is going to feature the big boys. Those reporters claim that France’s own Ciryl Gane will take top billing in Paris opposite Australia’s Tai Tuivasa in a heavyweight showdown.
