Ciryl Gane, who faced a brutal defeat against Jon Jones previously, got back on the winning track tonight at this week’s UFC Fight Night. “Bon Gamin” emerged victorious by defeating Serghei Spivac via a technical knockout within 3 minutes and 44 seconds of the third round.
However, the fight wasn’t easy for “Bon Gamin” as he admitted during the post-fight press conference that he felt pressure in the fight. Nonetheless, Gane responded positively once again, in the same arena where he previously defeated Tuivasa. The 33-year-old French fighter dominated Moldova’s Serghei Spivac for the best part of two rounds, outstriking the grappler and employing impressive bodywork in particular.

I can fight the winner, or I fight Pavlovich.” Aspinall said.
