“I’m Afraid for Gane” – Fans Can’t Believe Who Ciryl Gane Has Chosen to Spar Before Jon Jones Clash

UFC star Ciryl Gane is breaking a sweat and spending hours sparring for his upcoming fight against Jon Jones at UFC 285. This will be his second shot at claiming UFC gold as Francis Ngannou foiled his previous one at UFC 270. While the French fighter faces an arduous task, he is not leaving any stone unturned.

Significantly, his opponent, who is moving up a division in an attempt to fulfill a decade-long promise to the fans, stands in his path to glory. With only weeks left till the ultimate showdown, Gane is undergoing an intense training camp. In a recent viral clip from his sparring sessions, he is exchanging blows and exhibiting his improved wrestling skills.

Notably, in the viral video, the heavyweight fighter honed his striking and grappling skills with the former UFC fighter, Alan Baudot.

In the initial half of the video, the fans can witness the title contender in an orthodox stance. Further, he dodged and landed blows on his training partner. Also, the fans could witness the improved takedown defense of ‘Bon Gamin’.

Additionally, the viewers could spot the fighters sharing light moments during the sessions. Besides, the MMA Factory team product also collected ‘good work’ shouts from the noted coach Fernand Lopez.

How did the fans react to the intense sparring video?

While some fans lauded the former kickboxer for his tough training session, others pointed out that his partner lacked the skills of ‘Bones’.

One user commented, “Force to you my friend, you are the standard of an entire country and we are all behind you! Know that when you box you have millions of French people behind you!”

A fan pointed out, “Benevolent message: For those like me who love Ciryl, do not have false hopes it is very unlikely that this fight will be favorable to him”

Someone stated, “Cyril’s struggle is too weak to surprise Jones, it will be necessary to bcp work on this aspect”

A comment read, “I think that if Cyril is serious about being champion he must leave the MMA factory, in my opinion he should accept the offer of kabib he had proposed to him or either go to the United States”

Another fan announced, “Training with Baudot who does not have the level to train against Jones 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣”

Another user declared that Jon Jones will win by knockout.

Lastly, another comment read, “He’s really training against Alan for this fight? he’s really not going to be ready for Jones, it’s really not the same length.”

Notably, Gane will square off against Jones for the vacant heavyweight title on March 4, at UFC 285.
