The Heavyweight main event bout between Ciryl Gane and Sergey Spivak promises to be a monster clash. The two fighters have a lot on the line. Gane is looking to bounce back from his ‘real loss’ and prove that he is deserving of a second shot at the title. Meanwhile, Spivak is hungry and will be doing everything he can to earn his title shot.
In his last main event, Gane suffered a harrowing defeat at the hands of the current UFC champ Jon Jones. He lost his chance at the title and is now working on his ground game. As of now, Ciryl Gane is #2 on the current UFC Heavyweight roster. Sergey Spivak’s current UFC record stands at 16-3-0. He has won his last three fights and is currently #7 in the division.
Jon Jones will be fighting Stipe Miocic and shall be defending his HW title. Gane is going to be fighting Spivak on another heavyweight main event fight card. Now, if Gane wins, it will mean a second shot at the title, consecutively. As for Spivak, a win would mean a full circle – a title shot after 3 consecutive and commendable wins.
Ciryl Gane’s Road to Redemption
When Gane fought Jones, he was not ready for what the current HW champ was bringing into the Octagon. Gane admitted to the fact that he hadn’t been training till his fight against Jones was announced. Also, he confessed that he was too ‘lazy’ and that he didn’t work on his ground game. Furthermore, he directly disobeyed his coach’s instructions to manage his distance, throw jabs, and avoid heavy shots, which ultimately cost him the fight.
Now, Gane has another opportunity to impress upon the fans and the UFC brass that he is not just a top contender in the Heavyweight division, but he is deserving of a title shot and may be a worthy champion of the division as well. Also, this would mean an immediate second chance at the Heavyweight title – something that he would have to earn after a few fights.
