Now I&#8217;m comfortable with the situation. He has the belt. &#8230; We were born in the same gym with the same coach. Now, for the title, for the belt\u2014I can do this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On Saturday night, Gane beat Volkov by unanimous decision to improve his career professional record to 9-0, with six of those victories coming in the UFC.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"\">The 31-year-old Frenchman has only been a professional MMA fighter since 2018, but he has already done enough to get himself in the championship discussion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If Gane vs. Ngannou does happen, it would be a huge step in the development of MMA in France, as both Gane and Ngannou trained under\u00a0Fernand Lopez at MMA Factory in Paris.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The 34-year-old Ngannou, who is originally from Cameroon, has turned himself into a dominant force in the heavyweight division with a career record of 16-3, including 12 wins by way of knockout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ngannou has won five fights in a row, including a knockout victory over Stipe Miocic at UFC 260 in March to become the heavyweight champ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Gane has beat some impressive names in his own right over his past three outings with victories over Junior dos Santos, Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Volkov.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Per Raimondi, he is only the fifth heavyweight in history to begin his UFC career 6-0. The others are Randy Couture, Cain Velasquez, dos Santos and Ngannou, all of whom went on to become UFC heavyweight champions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">While Gane is undoubtedly a candidate for a title shot, he may have to wait a bit longer before the UFC grants him one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He is listed at No. 3 in the\u00a0UFC heavyweight rankings\u00a0behind Miocic and Derrick Lewis. He will also likely have to contend with No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter Jon &#8220;Bones&#8221; Jones, who is transitioning to the heavyweight division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">While it isn&#8217;t a guarantee that Gane&#8217;s next fight will be a title bout, he is one of the fastest-rising stars in the UFC, so it is likely a matter of when rather than if he gets a title shot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/10006576-ciryl-gane-ready-to-fight-francis-ngannou-for-ufc-heavyweight-title-after-volkov-win\">Bleachreport<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undefeated Ciryl Gane wants a shot at Francis Ngannou and the UFC heavyweight title following his victory over Alexander Volkov at\u00a0UFC Fight Night&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6676,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 -
