Ciryl Gane has a 7-0 professional Muay Thai record and has TKO/KO’d all of his opponents except for two competing in the martial art. Gane won an Académie Française de Muay Thaï Title during his time as a professional Muay Thai fighter in France and defended his title once.

Ciryl made his debut in the UFC after capturing and defending the heavyweight title under the TKO promotional banner. While with the TKO promotion Gane fought some very experienced and game opponents. Gane has faced solid competition throughout his pro MMA career and despite his 6-0 pro record, the combined record of the opponents that he has faced so far is 49-9. Gane added submissions to his arsenal since moving over to MMA in 2018, he has three sub finishes in his career and is more than capable of handling himself if the fight ends up down there. Ciryl picked up threee wins in his first four months with the UFC. Including a very impressive two impressive submission finishes and the first decision win of his career in a hard-fought showing against Tanner Boser in his most recent fight.

Gane has solid, powerful striking and with his huge frame, he’s is primed to try and climb in the rankings with a high profile finish at UFC 256.
