In the primary occasion of UFC Paris, a heavyweight bout headlined the card as Ciryl Gane handled Serghei Spivac.
Gane went into the battle coming off a first-round submission loss to Jon Jones back in March for the uninhabited heavyweight title. Prior to that, he scored a KO win over Tai Tuivasa to go back to the win column after losing a choice to Francis Ngannou for the heavyweight belt. Spivac, on the other hand, was riding a three-fight win streak and was coming off a first-round submission over Derrick Lewis.
Ultimately, it was Gane who won by second-round TKO as he controlled the scrap on the feet. The Frenchman kept the battle standing and pieced up Spivac to the body and head prior to the ref stopped it. Now, following UFC Paris, here’s what I believe need to be next for both fighters.
Ciryl Gane
Ciryl Gane went back to the win column in a huge method on Saturday night in Paris, France. Gane went into the battle with a great deal of skeptics following the loss to Jones, and he assisted silence some by controling Spivac and flaunting some great takedown defense.
With the win, Gane is back in the title image, however he did state he remained in no rush to eliminate for the belt once again so quickly. There is a possibility that both Jones and Stipe Miocic retire after their battle in November, and if that occurs, it’s most likely Tom Aspinall will deal with Sergei Pavlovich for the uninhabited belt. If that does take place, Gane remains in an odd area where he has actually combated the majority of the leading heavyweights, however dealing with the winner of Curtis Blaydes vs. Jailton Almeida makes good sense.
Serghei Spivac
Serghei Spivac was wanting to show he belongs as a legitimate heavyweight competitor at UFC Paris however that didn’t pertain to fulfillment. Rather, Spivac could not get the battle to the mat, and had no responses for Gane’s striking and eventually suffered a TKO loss.
With the loss, Spivac is back to the drawing board however still stays a leading-10 heavyweight. A sensible next battle is to deal with the loser of Tai Tuivasa vs. Alexander Volkov which occurs at UFC 293 this Saturday. Spivac beat Tuivasa back in 2019 and lost by submission, so sufficient time has actually passed for a prospective rematch, while the Volkov battle would be a fresh match.
