Ciryl Gane had a feeling before his last fight that if he walked away with a win, he would soon after get a call from the UFC.
And he was right.
It was announced earlier this month that the top heavyweight prospect has signed with the UFC, just two weeks after his first-round TKO of Roggers Souza at TKO 48. Gane headlined the event, which took place May 24 in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada and marked Gane’s second defense of the TKO heavyweight title.
“We have been preparing for this news,” Gane told Bloody Elbow through a translator.
