LAS VEGAS — Nothing that was being said about Ciryl Gane before he fought Jairzinho Rozenstruik on Saturday at Apex — he’s big, powerful, incredibly athletic and one of the potential stars in the heavyweight division — changed after they spent 25 minutes in the cage together.
This, though, was one of those rare shutout victories in which he wasn’t particularly happy. Gane defeated the fourth-ranked Ronzenstruik by winning 50-45 on all three cards, but it was a desultory affair that would have had a packed arena filled with boos by the middle of the first round.
