UFC debuts in Paris with Ciryl Gane vs Tai Tuivasa in the lead
A great MMA event is taking place this Saturday from the Accor Arena in Paris, a venue with a capacity of over fifteen thousand people and which will witness the weekly show UFC Fight Night, which will have as its main event a confrontation between the French fighter Cyryl Gane (10-1-0) and the Australian Tai Tuivasa (15-3-0).
Gane is coming off a painful loss in his last bout in the octagon, losing a unanimous decision at UFC 270 to Cameroon’s Francis Ngannou, thus missing out on a valuable shot at the heavyweight title.
Tuivasa, for his part, arrives on a roll and his victory on February 12 against Derrick Lewis at UFC 271, allows him to continue dreaming of the possibility of climbing the category ladder, where he currently ranks 3. I feel surpassed by the champion Ngannou, Gane and Stipe Miocic.
Without a doubt, a great day of mixed martial arts is coming, which among the twelve fights that complete its billboard, will feature a co-star animated by Robert Whittaker (24-6-0) and Marvin Vettori (18-5-1).
WHEN IS THE CIRYL GANE VS TAI TUIVASA FIGHT ?
The UFC has one of the best heavyweight fights of the year ready since Ciryl Gane not only plays for a possible ticket to a rematch for the title he lost a few months ago, but the French fighter himself will have the responsibility of giving him welcoming the UFC to the grounds of the Eiffel Tower in its home capacity.
The problem is that he will face the third-best ranked in the MMA company, Tai Tuivasa, the charismatic Australian fighter who could take away the throne of the best-ranked Frenchman this coming Saturday, September 3.
