Undefeated-kickboxer-turned-MMA fighter and former interim heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane will headline UFC Fight Night in his home country of France.
He hopes to bounce back from his first professional MMA loss, which came against heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou via unanimous decision this past January at UFC 270.
Tai Tuivasa is enjoying a five-fight winning streak and is coming off of the biggest win of his career. This past February at UFC 271, Tuivasa knocked out former two-time title challenger Derrick Lewis in the second round.
The win earned him his fifth knockout win in a row as well as his third performance bonus in a row.
Gane will stand three inches taller and have a six-inch reach advantage over Tuivasa.
At -620, the former interim champ is the largest betting favorite on the main card.

After losing his middleweight title to Israel Adesanya, Robert Whittaker won three straight – earning him a chance to win his title back in his most recent fight.
Unfortunately, Whittaker came up short at UFC 271, losing the rematch against Adesanya via unanimous decision this past February.
Marvin Vettori’s last loss also came in a rematch to Adesanya. However, Vettori is coming into this fight following a win over Paulo Costa; a fight that took place at light heavyweight.
With black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, hapkido, and karate, Whittaker has more fight experience than his opponent, but it is Vettori who will have the height and reach advantage.
