The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its way to Paris this weekend with a line-up of highly enticing clashes. This will be the second time the promotion travels to the capital of France. The Octagon came to Paris for the first-time last year almost to the day. The first ever event in Paris was a truly special as local athlete Cyril Gane enthralled the crowd with a third-round knockout victory over Tai Tuivasa. The event featured numerous iconic moments that French MMA fans will never forget. The Main Event clash between the heavyweight division’s two resolute fighters Cyril Gane and Serghei Spivak headlines UFC Fight Night in Paris, which will be held in the Accor Arena. The two highly-rated superstars have been in the heavyweight division for years but will clash heads in the Octagon for the first time, making it a bout for the ages. Cyril Gane, has displayed great striking ability, unlike any heavyweight the UFC has ever seen in his tenure, which is complemented brilliantly by his speed and technicality. Nicknamed Bon Gamin, the French athlete will be looking to rebound from his loss to Jon Jones in March earlier this year. While Gane has yet to taste success in two efforts at the undisputed heavyweight title, his name has been at the top of the list of contenders for more than two years, and with good cause. Currently the number two ranked fighter in the heavyweight division, Gane will be looking to capitalise on the relentless home support as a stiff challenge awaits him on the weekend. On the other hand, Serghei Spavik, currently ranked seventh in the heavyweight division comes into this clash with three consecutive victories all by finishes.
