Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov Have Taken Different Paths Since Their First Meeting in 2021, But Now They Find Themselves Back on the Same Stage at UFC 310: Pantoja vs Asakura
A lot has changed in the UFC heavyweight division since French superstar Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov first squared off in the Octagon in 2021.
At the time, Francis Ngannou was the undisputed heavyweight champion, fresh off a title-winning performance over the great Stipe Miocic, who announced his retirement after his bout with current titleholder Jon Jones at UFC 309 last month.

Since that first meeting, both fighters have gone down very different paths: Gane has competed three times for UFC gold, while Volkov has steadily climbed the rankings with a handful of impressive outings.
