Ahead of his return to the Octagon next month, former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane spent some time sparring with NBA star Rudy Gobert.
It’s been over a year since ‘Bon Gamin’ earned a bounce-back victory over Serghei Spivac in his native Paris. On October 26, he’ll step back inside the cage for a scrap with Alexander Volkov when the promotion heads back to Abu Dhabi for UFC 308 at Etihad Arena.
Their scrap in the UAE will serve as a rematch of their 2021 meeting that saw Gane come out on top via unanimous decision in what would be his ninth-straight win at the time.
