Ciryl Gane was already a well-known commodity before he signed for the UFC, but following his first-round submission of previously undefeated Brazilian Raphael Pessoa in his promotional debut in August, his stock has soared again.
The Muay Thai champion is hoping to stay as active as possible in the hopes that he will command a headline slot when the UFC eventually hosts its first event in France.
Preparing to face Contender Series graduate Dontale Mayes in his sophomore trip to the Octagon this weekend in Singapore, Gane underlined how happy he is to be competing under the banner for the second time over a two-and-a-half month period.
