Across the MMA Universe: Why Ciryl Gane Doesn't Watch MMA and UFC's Best Matchup

Welcome back to Across the MMA Universe. Every Friday morning we scour the sport's landscape, preview upcoming cards, tell interesting stories and, if at all possible, have fun. Let's get it on.

Ciryl Gane is No. 7 with a bullet.

A violent dispatch of Junior Dos Santos (21-9) last December launched Gane (7-0) up the UFC heavyweight rankings and into the fast lane. The Gane Trane came a bit out of left field, which is to be expected when Tanner Boser (19-7-1) is your second-most-famous opponent. Bit of a drop-off there.
